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.

I actually think the 'easiest' math problems sometimes are harder than the 'harder' ones.... I've done that too.

No they are not. I think that you are trying too hard to think of things to think about. Stop trying to think. You're not good at it.

They make perfect sense to me... They are the hardest to get right sometimes because you have not been practicing them. You assume you will just get them right. Then you answer them wrong without thinking because you're focusing on the harder parts of the question. Think next time, #102.

fml because you can't do elementary math? get the he'll outta here and stop wasting space.

Sorry, OP... if you were really a math major, you would know math has nothing to do with numbers. If you're still doing the 2 times 5 thing, you're nowhere near a "math major". Maybe "math majorette".

It's funny how when you get into all the convoluted, abstract math, your grip on the simple stuff fades in and out. My boyfriend will never let me down the time I tried to convince him the sqrt(1+1+1) = 1.
