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.

idk about this one, your a math major. and you should know 2 by 5.

I know how you feel, to get familiar with an online math program our class was given a few samples questions to imput. One asked me to put the square root of q in, out of habit I hit x. Turns out the marks counted towards the semester.

Normally I'd laugh at you and make a funny comment, but seriously, are you getting enough sleep? Stomach problems? Other health issues? Cause it sounds like some other factor is undermining your performance.

You could have argued you were giving the answer in base 5.

No sweat, dude. When you're focusing on the difficult stuff you forget the easy stuff. I do it all the time too.

I'm doing a maths degree and simple arithmetic gets the better of most of us. I've had 18+10=24 at one point when (i think) messing around with matrices etc..
