Proof By Car

Proof By Car
Every math teacher's nightmare on wheels! This car boldly declares "92 is half of 99" which is... mathematically creative, to put it kindly. While 92 ÷ 2 = 46 and 99 ÷ 2 = 49.5, this driver has decided that rounding is for squares! It's the kind of math that makes sense after failing your arithmetic test but acing your confidence exam. Maybe they're operating in some alternative number theory where conventional arithmetic doesn't apply—or maybe they just really wanted a bumper sticker and didn't check the math. Either way, this vehicle is proudly spreading mathematical chaos one highway at a time!

When You Ask A Math Major To Show Your Work

When You Ask A Math Major To Show Your Work
This is what happens when mathematicians take "show your work" too literally. That horrifying explosion of e's and integrals is the mathematical equivalent of taking a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. The person created this absurdly complex expression using Euler's number (e) that somehow—through mathematical sorcery or sheer dumb luck—equals π to 10 decimal places. It's like watching someone build an entire Rube Goldberg machine just to flip a light switch. The "Bad Math" label is the chef's kiss of self-awareness. This is the kind of thing that makes calculus professors wake up in cold sweats.

There Are More Odd Than Even Numbers. Proof By Sorting

There Are More Odd Than Even Numbers. Proof By Sorting
The mathematical "proof" here is gloriously wrong in the most delightful way. Someone's claiming that only 1/3 of numbers are even by... randomly arranging some integers and declaring victory. Meanwhile, actual mathematicians are screaming internally because even and odd integers exist in equal quantities—for every n, there's both 2n and 2n+1. It's like proving the Earth is flat by standing in your backyard with a level. The confidence-to-competence ratio here is off the charts.
