Seems a bit pointless to ask. You want them to make up a story? "The data scientist's radio link degrades to static while he waits for the answer and all he hears is the letter 'l'". There.
It's just a bit funny to come up with a clever justification for 50% of the problem only to quit at the last moment with tacked-on math problem stuff.
Haha fair enough.
