It is, and the only facepalm is the fact it's posted here
I'm pretty sure it's a bot....
There's a lot of posts here where they're completely missing a joke and saying it's a facepalm.
It probably just pulls whatever is posted to reddit (likely by a bot too) and posts it here. I struggle to believe a real life human would think this is a mistake and not a funny headline for engagement.

Well, that's 1/2 the problem there!
OP musst be one of the 2/3 and clearly not of the 1/4.
Makes sense, there's overlap between what they can do, and what they struggle with...
So there's 2/3rds they just can't do... All of which they struggle with... But there's some stuff they CAN DO, and they struggle with... And then there's 1/4 they can do without struggle.
The problem is "the other" in the headline which makes it clear that your guess is not the case.
A perfect 5/7 post.
I wonder if it was tongue-in-cheek? Like they did it deliberately?
"Half and other half is always the same" "... but I think that bigger half of you still don't get it."

I made a similar joke in a post recently. I was using the number 33⅓, which I'd temporarily forgotten the significance of (it's the RPMs for a standard LP vinyl record to play) so I made it 33¾ and hope that the incongruance itches someone's brain when they read it.
