Rasonian baseball player hits 2831.217 times while at bat

BASKOL - A school math problem recently exposed the public to a little-known fact. The math problem:

"Cal Ripkin Jr. played in 2632 consecutive baseball games. During this time, he was at

bat 10,221 times, and his batting average was .277, meaning that he got a hit 27.7% of

the times he was at-bat. How many hits did Cal Ripkin Jr. get during this time period?"

However, upon solving the problem, children realized that the answer was 2831.217 (all done in mental math - Rasonians are intellectually superior to all others). This was a problem because it is impossible to get a decimal hit. This has then become national news, with reporters wondering if the writer of this problem was actually a spy from a parallel universe where this was possible, trying to blend in with humans but finally making a mistake.

At press time, the purpose of the first sentence and the mentioning of “2632 consecutive games" is still unknown.
