DD's 2nd grade math is pretty basic and then they come up with this problem solving sheet:
Stella has 5 coins
Joan has 10 coins.
Stella has 2 times as much money as Joan
There are only 4 quarters.
What amount of money does Stella have?
What amount of money does Joan have?
What demonination of coins does each have?
There's no solution, because there are multiple possible configurations of the coins. Unless something is taught about the principles at work, this sounds exactly like a typical Everyday Math churn-through-whole-number-constructions problem, although at least it's not nearly as dumbed-down as some of the problems I've seen in our local Everyday Math program.
ETA: I'm not against all problems that get children to play with numbers to discover things on their own, by any means, but if the children here learn to just find a combination that fits the numeric relationships, without realizing that they're being asked to definitely determine a specific combination of coins as the answer, this is the sort of problem that could actually do harm IMHO.
