Florida's Special Math Book

Today in the store, we came across a strange book.

Can you see what's strange about this book? Especially considering that it's in Seattle and not somewhere very much East and South. The receiving clerk asked me if I had any idea what this was about:

The obvious jokes were made about math having to be different in Florida, and how that explains what happened in 2000... but I'm still mildly curious. I went to the publisher's website, and the nearest I can figure is that there are some kind of practice tests in the back that are modelled on state tests. I'm not positive about that, though. Anyone know for sure?

In any case, that was something fun to cheer us up today.
