A village has a population of 800.  Three per cent of them wear one earring.  Of the other 97 per cent, half are wearing two earrings, and half are wearing none.  How many earrings are being worn?

800. C'mon guys, you gotta get a little bit less trivial and obvious than this. Also, could we please orient the problems more to engineering, or at least to math and physics?
