When Math And Law Collide: The Negative Fine Paradox

When Math And Law Collide: The Negative Fine Paradox

When your math skills are so bad you accidentally create a quantum financial paradox! This lawyer somehow managed to win his client a negative $56 billion fine—essentially creating the world's first legal money printer. Move over, Federal Reserve!

The joke plays on the absurdity of getting a fine that's "400,000% less" than another fine. Mathematically speaking, that's not how percentages work—a fine can at most be 100% less (meaning $0). Anything beyond that would require Nintendo to receive money instead of paying it!

Truly groundbreaking legal work. I hear Harvard Law is updating their curriculum as we speak.
