Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
WellThere'sThat
Today, I got a big math test back. Good news: I can connect abstract ideas beyond what was taught. Bad news: I can’t do simple math, such as 30/-5. I failed. FML

Teacher bust out the sad smiley face
Today, I got my multivariable calc final back, only to realize that the ten points I got off was for putting 10 + 15 = 35 on a problem. My teacher wrote ten question marks and “No???? 25???? :(“ next to it. FML

Today, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Maths is hard
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML

I did that once. I'm a chemical engineering major, and I added 20+25=55 on a test.

It's an honest mistake. If you still truely believe you were right though, I suggest you change your major. :)

Everyone does dumb shit like that, but what kind of a quiz were you taking that actually had 5x2 on it? I hope it was part of a larger equation, because I'd hate to think you were given a quiz fit for a 3rd grader.

haha. I know a guy who, on his final maths exam in highschool, accidentally wrote that 7 x 2 is 49. (Of course the question itself wasn't just 7 x 2, it was part of a larger more complicated maths problem. Obviously the 49 threw off the rest of the working and answer!)

As #2 said, it was a careless mistake, and certainly nothing to make a big deal out of.
