Weaponising Maths

In Afghanistan, under Taliban rule,
the only education was religious.
But in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan
little boys learned their maths by the following method...

“A group of Mujahideen are on the front line.
Three of them are on duty at the checkpoint.
Each has a box that consists of sixty bullets.
In the fight against the infidels.
The first Mujahid fired 24 bullets,
the second 40, and the third 16.
Write the total number of bullets fired
and the numbers that are remaining.”

Sometimes there were extra questions
which if answered correctly would earn the boys
extra esteem from the teacher such as.....

“If a total of 19 infidels were killed with a single shot
by the brave Mujahideen, how many bullets missed?”

So far the ISIS approach to teaching maths
to young boys has yet to be revealed to the world.
