The thing I’m most proud of in my life is my long history of math-related activities. I have participated in several math contests, the greatest of which is the longest-running math contest in my home country, for 8 years. I was also fortunate to top my math classes in high school. My takeaway is that math is an enjoyable subject when taught concisely.
But sometimes, I still get things wrong. For example, when I’m under time pressure, I’d say 3^2 is 6 instead of 9. Everyone can also make mistakes, but for these 25 people featured in the They didn’t do the math subreddit, their mistakes are on the next level! From wrongly dividing millions to incorrectly-calculated ages, this list will surely make you chuckle at these blunders you don’t have to be a math wizard to avoid.
