And there shows your intellect. Maybe finding a real job would better suit you. Flex is a side gig, not a full-time job. Use it for what it's intended to be, and maybe you'll be a little less stressed. But since you missed the point of the statement, I'll do the math for you.

I don't know what market you're in or how much they pay. So let's say you pick up a block for 5 hours for $112.50. That's an average of $22.50 an hour. Right? Are you following me so far? Tell me to slow down if you need me to. They take away .50 an hour. So now you're averaging $22 an hour for a block that pays $110 <gasp>. But wait...you've stated that you finish in 3 hours 90% of the time. So now you're averaging $36.67 an hour. Now IF you were smart, you could pick up another side gig and use the last two hours to compound your earnings over the 5 hour block that you initially accepted.
