All I need to know about math is 155mph is greater than 55mph and will get you in jail.
Maybe.

wheatonFJR: Are you and mcatrophy working together here in the Jokes and Fun Stuff section as a comedy team? Like Penn and Teller? Or Abbott and Costello? JSNS, maybe Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin!
I got it, Laurel and Hardy! Stan Laurel was an Englishman, to Oliver Hardy's American!

I'll take the bait!!!
You don't add the 2 to the 27, you subtract it. They paid 30, minus a dollar each, minus the 2 the dude stole, equals the 25 for the room.
Or to put it another way, you don't start with the 30, you start with the 25 for the room. Then add the two he took, get 27, and add the dollar each, for 30.

Haha...I work with ******** just like that. They're too stupid to realize they're stupid, and there is no convincing them otherwise.^^^^^^ U of Georgia grad school on-line class.

Ok, so my sentence was wrong, they hit Mars instead of missing it.
Such is life.
A non-British, very well known, Space Administration hit Mars instead of orbiting it. Probably because some people use pounds for thrust, others newtons.
The British hit Mars deliberately, but failed to communicate afterwards.
Such is life.

See, that's exactly why the metric system should be abolished world-wide: because Americans use feet, pounds, quarts, and acres.
NASA has done some amazing things, including landing and retrieving a handful of humans on the moon, and now SpaceX is doing stuff that stretches my imagination.

Thanks, bluesdog! That link/article was extremely interesting, and I am very glad you chose to share it!
Once upon a time, I had a closely-spaced series of awful experiences that introduced me to the Dunning-Kruger effect, although I had no idea it was a real thing until your post. I began to wonder if I was really an incompetent nincompoop and just didn't recognize it; or a clown who had a wildly inaccurate haughty opinion of himself; or an irresponsible man who -- every day -- barely escaped my well-deserved judgment without realizing how closely I came to disaster.
Now, I'll credit that questioning to a familiarization with Dunning-Kruger ... while having another beer.
