My Take
Get the Math does a good job of demonstrating how math can be used in a variety of industries and gives students interesting problems. Sometimes the math seems forced to the students, because in a real world situation you could approach the problem with trial and error.

I used this as a supplemental activity in class to see how math is used in the real world in a variety of industries.

Another awesome thing is that this website allows the students to solve the challenge their own way; it does not restrict them to only one path to the solution.
