Math can be difficult at times, but it usually has a single solution. This one math problem, however, was too complicated for the Twitter world. “It takes 40 minutes for a 120-piece orchestra to perform Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.”

How long would it take 60 musicians to perform the symphony? “Assume P is the number of players and T is the time spent playing,” the question stated. While it may be overly complicated, one Twitter user responded:

“In the case of the Beethoven 9 problem, the math is irrelevant.” The speed of the symphony, as a performer who has done it many times, is NOT a function of the number of musicians performing it.” Reddit is one of the online communities where individuals ask questions.
