39 Times People Clearly Didn’t Do The Math And Others Had To Share It On This Page
We might act like Muppets sometimes, but we’re nowhere near as good at counting as Count von Count. One! Two! Three! Hahaha. And that’s more or less where our worldly wisdom with numbers ends.
(Un)fortunately, we’re not the only ones whose brains sometimes derp out and throw their math skills out of whack! And that’s what the ‘They didn’t do the math’ subreddit is all about. It documents all of the biggest math fails on the net and all of the times people messed up when doing school-level counting. (Just remember not to mix this community up with its counterpart, the ‘They did the math’ subreddit.)
Check out some of the funniest ‘They didn’t do the math posts’ and upvote your fave pics by giving them a big old upvote. Do you have any embarrassing math fails to share with all the other Pandas? Drop us a comment below. Who said that math can’t be fun?!

I know how the guy/girl thought it was 9,125 dollars with the quarter. Because he probably did 25x365 and not 0.25x365
Yep. The decimal point. It gets people every time.
Load More Replies...They missed the decimal point, so this one's actually fathomable.
Load More Replies...It's equivalent to 1 quarter a day for 100 years... $9125*4 quarters = 36,500 days / 365 = 100 years

Tipping Ain’t A City In China
This happened so often when I was a server. I lost out on numerous tips because self-righteous, mathetmatically-challenged people got furious when I actually paid for a small portion of their meal out of my own pocket to make it easier. Most of the time, they'd throw a fit and leave. Sometimes they'd confront me, or ask for my manager, but usually explaining to these MENSA candidates didn't work and they'd stomp out. So, I started walking around for 8+ hours a night with an extra pound of effing change in my pockets to make the knuckleheads happy.
Yeah, so much money in the pocket of those bloodsucking restaurants with their overpaid staff.... Entitled, miserly, dumb AND vain enough to go public. She really is the whole deal.

I for one was really awesome at math when I started school (multiplying stuff was my bread and butter). However, I started struggling when they started throwing in letters and weird concepts into my calculations. I’m sure that more than one of you has been there, dear Readers.
But one thing that I learned was how much carving out an hour or two for practicing basic math problems helped me out. That and knowing some amazing math wizards who explain to you the illogical logic behind numbers. TL;DR—practice makes perfect and soon enough you’ll be a Muppet like Count von Count.

Also, diamond would isn't very tough. It's hard, but would shatter under the impact of the bullet, and the shards would impale the wearer. Game Theory did a video on it. To help, here's an analogy: Take a glass bottle, and a plastic bottle. The glass bottle is harder, yes? You can squeeze the plastic, but the glass remains firm. Now, throw both bottles at a wall. Which will break? The glass, since it's not as tough. The plastic is tougher than the glass, but not as hard.
I watched that video! It explained how diamond could shatter if you hit it at a tree because it had a low toughness. Iron is optimum and preferable because of its high toughness and hardness, while gold was correctly depicted as a really bad material for tools or armour.
Load More Replies...Could this exchange be any more wrong? Diamond is not a metal, its hardness is not related to impact resistance (even if you could create a continuous sheet), and I have no idea what the anonymous person was thinking (a carat weighs about 0.2g and the density is about 5 times that of water).

Customers in general are that dumb. I saw a K-Mart Blue Light Special, 2 wooden picture frames for $7. Good deal right? Yeah except they set the cart right in front of the end cap where those frames are set for everyday sale. $2.49 each. Only difference was they had placed a new bar code on the specials so they would ring up higher.
Customers. if you put $1.00 candy bars in a dump bin marked SALE!!! you will sell at least 2x the normal amount. One of many marketing ploys
simply a typo. price should have been $12.50 but a 2 was mistakenly inserted instead of a 1.
It says "was 24.99" I think they accidentally put the "50% off" on there
How Do I Take Advantage Of This Special?
Would have to be a party of four to buy 12 loaves at the sale price, with one person paying the cashier from the pooled funds. However, everyone will still only get three loaves. Unless one person can’t or doesn’t eat bread, and just comes along to help you out—-but please remember to not make them pay for it.
Load More Replies...Most things are like that. One exception is Coke and all the drinks like that. If the cokes are on sale $3/11 you have to buy 3. It is that way at Kroger, Publix, several pharmacies. I asked why one day and they said that coke/Pepsi make their own sales. I don't know if that is the right reason but I do know if you go to buy just 1 it will ring up $5.99 regardless.
Load More Replies...Use to work in a grocery store all through college. The items will still ring at $1.25 despite how many you buy
They're trying to confuse the math delinquent, and it works. Often I see SALE 4 for 5 and the regular item price is $1.28.... Better buy it while it lasts people!!!
Point it out to management. If they adjust the special to the limit, then buy some bread. If not, let their corporate HQ know, and start shopping at a better store.

Here's the thing: the 4.3% tax in lieu of private health insurance. So for a family of four with a total household income of $100K that's $4,300 for essentially free healthcare. Sound like a lot? Currently, at a similar (a little lower) income for a family of 7 we pay $11, 700 annually for the premium, $20 co pay for each regular visit (if only counting annual check ups that's another $140) and $50 for each specialist (let's assume half had one issue that required a second visit with a different doctor - just one - I know it's unrealistic but we're making assumptions here, that's another $175, and let's throw in one ER visit, one ambulance ride and one admission to the hospital for $100, $3,000, and $500 respectively. I'd save well over $11,000 a year by being taxed and not paying health insurance. We didn't even cover rx, multiple follow up visits, dentist (another $2000 a year...) I mean Jeez, people!

But Disney fired all staff and has almost no expenses. So they will deduct their "losses" in the next taxdeclaration and they still end up making profit.
Lost income is NOT equal to losses and they have much smaller expenses when closed, so this kind of calculation tells us nothing at all.
Time Divided By Distance Gets You Units Of Distance Over Time? Makes Sense To Me
Mmmbut if I count the time that I spend in my shoes , it's usually faster hop or jump
If you paid in cash, or even by card, the time you spend paying for the car would only be a few minutes at most...? xxx

Is there a problem with a really long movie? :/ I mean- and this is me guessing- maybe people in the past had less ability to make really long films. I might be completley off!
There's a wee difference between 1/9th and 1/900th, don't you agree?

Fabulous Tax Math
No argument here. The ability of Americans to be terrified by the word "taxation" is downright profound.
Load More Replies...Nobody gets taxed 50% anyway. Turning Point made this, an anti American political group.
If you want to go by their logic; when they were $7/hour and charged 50% tax they were living on $3.50 an hour. So going up to $7.50/hour (or $7 for the dumb Turning Point USA people) it''s still a huge difference.

How Does This Make Sense
The numbers total 66... I think the person is saying since there's that 66 and there are 6 letters in Corona it's 666? But they could just be an idiot idk
That's the entire reasoning of all the conspiracy theorists. There are 7 days in a week and a dog has 4 legs but humans only have 2 and a tripod has 3 of them. 7-4 = 3. 3x2=6. 3x6 = 666. Coincidence? Me thinks not.

Walmart always has weird prices like that on their app! I needed cinnamon and the options were to buy one for $4.50 or two for $2.99. I didn’t even look at the unit price, it was probably way off too. I do not need this much cinnamon.
They Didn't Do The Math
After a short look to that, you don't need to make any further calculation. You just go to another provider
I can't see anything wrong here. Maybe silly but looks like originally 36,300 per month on a 1, 2, 3 or 4 month contract + 10,000 for the card. They dropped the original price for the sale and waved the fee. The new numbers are the sale prices.
2 month for 30,000 is 15,000 per month, 3 month for 50,000 is 16,667 per month , and 4 month for 80,000 is 20,000 per month. I would take 2 consecutive contracts for a total of 60,000 instead of one 4 month contract for 80,000.

I'm pretty sure that 1 trillion is a multiple of a million so, technically, correct.
Nothing wrong here. The value of a credit is not defined, so 1 trillion credits may be only worth $1 USD.

Okay, the grams are wrong, but the percentages are Daily Values, which means how much of the nutrient you need to get in one day.
