if that was true FAANG would have been hiring with math questions. In reality, by and large, math skills are not tested for software engineers, with the exeption of trading and such.

It is relevant only to the degree of whether or not you can do high-school maths, and the assumption is anyone who can write code can.

But those questions on a PISA test Are below high school level maths. It's basic math.

look keep pushing for this nonsense, nobody cares, I doubt that a single person who can't do math read this site, nor apply for a dev job.
