People are imperfect, and they are capable of making mistakes. But, some make very simple ones. They probably lack sleep or were too exhausted to try to analyze or deal with numbers.
Here are some examples of people’s mistakes related to Math. It is a lesson to learn that it is better to stay silent when you are not sure or better to ask others’ help.

Math is hard sometimes. We do wish they were right…and that someone was handing out billions.
Well, 20:20:20 happens every night. We’re not sure what date they wrote that on, but there’s also no 20th month.
It seems like a reasonable enough sale until you do the math. At that point, “buy 6 get 7 free” starts seeming a little less compelling.
There’s something a little off about that social distancing math, but who really stands exactly 1.5 meters apart anyway? Let’s just go with “close enough” and call it a day on this one.
There is no way they are getting the job, and it has nothing to do with their age.
Well, someone messed that up. At least customers will benefit from the wonky math.
Either that math is wrong, or they know something about time machines that the rest of us haven’t learned about yet. Hey, you never know.
Well, there goes the theory that pregnancy is around nine months. Now, it’s a year or less than a month.
Multiplication can go wrong, especially if the decimal is in the wrong place. It’s best just to check the end result and make sure it actually makes sense.
Or you can just die a little inside after realizing your error.
#10 Can I buy those separately?
There’s a small problem with their math. Don’t worry. Everyone on Facebook will correct them.
They may have messed up the math a little. All those zeroes can get overwhelming sometimes.
#12 Disorder of operations
The order we put numbers in does matter. He might not have been paying attention in class the day the teacher went over that.
People are quick to correct each other on the internet. Just double-check your math before you make that comment.
Redistributing spending is an interesting idea. However, the math doesn’t always work out.
She wanted to save a little money. That’s not quite how it worked out.
#16 Increasing population
Maybe they had 500 million tourists? Yeah, we don’t really think so either.
That was just bad. It had to be a joke post. Right?
There are so many things wrong here. Where do we even start?
The person responding could have just pointed out that the math was wrong. Then again, they did manage to rhyme.
They just need a couple more quarters. Maybe they were tired that day.
Losing sucks. However, this is just adding insult to injury.
It started out well. Unfortunately, multiplying by zero will never put anyone ahead.
That’s not how aging works. That’s not how many things work.
Do you ever feel like people over-explain things? Like when they have to explain that figures will fall both above and below the median.
A hundred million, a billion… What’s the difference, anyway?
Basic math is helpful. It’s just not the answer to every math problem.
Are they confused? Are they joking? We have so many questions.
It starts out bad. Then, it gets worse. We didn’t even see that coming at us at 75 miles per hour.
They thought they had beat the system. They may have been wrong.
At least they’ll get the right answer. That’s something!
You don’t need to be good at math to be good at love. That’s a fact.
What about the people who want to take advantage of the sale? Why even have the sale?
#33 That’s not how addition works
Their addition is correct. The issue is that it’s not that kind of math problem.
They were supped to take 50% off the price. Instead, they took off significantly less.
It was supposed to be a rollback. This is clearly going in the wrong direction.
Someone tried to do a math problem. They just got a couple of things wrong along the way.
That tiny little corner is a lot less than 25%. It might be time to adjust that image a little…or a lot.
#38 The longest flight ever
It’s no fun when you’re on a plane and can’t even properly stretch your legs. Finding out that the flight will take several days could only add to that pain. Thankfully, no plane has enough fuel to actually stay in the air that long.
Who doesn’t like a good plot twist? Don’t let a little math get in the way!
Sure, people on Twitter might get math wrong in conversation. But what about when it’s a company that sends you a monthly bill?
We assume they just rounded the numbers. Otherwise, this just doesn’t make any sense.
Usually, when something is 50% off, we expect it to be 50% off. That’s not quite what is going on here.
Let’s hope that they don’t actually need precise measurements. If they do, this won’t end well.
#44 1/900th of an Avenger’s movie
Maybe they added in an extra zero. Something went a little wrong here.
Their heart may have been in the right place. Their math could use a little work, though.
It would actually take a few days at that speed, but that’s still not great for a relationship. It was over before it even started.
The name seems to make it seem like they’re probably a troll. Then again, we’ve seen math that bad before from non-trolls. Sometimes, it’s just so hard to tell.
We all love a good sale. In this case, the store manager might be loving the sale more than we are.
