Getting less Intelligent?

Sundary, February 9th, 2014

In a piece of news I caught in a glimpse on TV news while on some household chores, I came across a disturbing trend. I did not catch the entire details but this is the gist of it :

In an annual entrance exam given out to potential job seekers (at a particular company), the following maths question was among one of the questions :

                   9 - 3 ¸ 1/3 + 1 = ?
 
and..... only 40% of the takers got the answer correct.
