Today, I missed points on a math quiz because I thought 2 times 5 was 20. I'm a math major. FML

You were probably tired. it happens to the best of us. I once absentmindedly asked if an airplane was 50 miles long.

Not necessarily true... depends entirely of the professor. I had a few professors with an "all or nothing" kind of grading scheme.

It's just a careless mistake, you couldn't have missed too many points off...not really an FML.

maybe you just thought the two was squared?

nope. two squared is four, times five is twenty. thanks for playing, please come again.

I believe chicken_lover interpreted the comment as the 2 being superscript to the 5, thus making 5^2 and resulting in 25. I could be wrong, but I think this is just a failure in communication.

no like 2 squared is 4 then 4x5 is 20 because exponents come before in the order of operations
