A menu for chicken wings has turned out be quite an intriguing math problem.

The list, originally posted by Twitter user @seanposting but identified by BuzzFeed as being from Danny's Wok in West Philadelphia, has a mind-boggling pricing structure.

You can buy between 4 to 200 wings at the restaurant, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason when it comes to the prices, leaving people to wonder what quantity of wings is the most cost efficient.

So what's the best option to getting the best price on wings?

Well, according to this chart by Twitter user @btuftin, if you want less than 25 wings, the best option is to get them in multiples of 3. Above that, 25, 50, 75 have the lowest prices per wing.

But honestly, who eats that many wings anyway?
