20 Pop Culture Miniscule Math Errors (That Really Stuck In People's Craws)

Even although mathematics arguably runs the world, many students despise it. Vast sums of money and technology worth thousands of dollars have been lost due to minor mathematical errors. Space disasters and nuclear meltdowns can all result from a faulty calculation. Forgetting to carry the two can have serious consequences, and even cost people their jobs. That’s why we stick to jokes, memes and really mind blowing facts.

Even worse than all of that though, mathematical errors may be the most distracting of all continuity blunders. Our universe ostensibly has one thing in common with all the imaginary universes we immerse ourselves in math. Our brains go into overdrive when a character's age is utterly inaccurate, an incorrect algorithm appears prominently, or someone's clear error goes unpunished.

Is there a hint? Or is that just a C+ attempt at transcribing pi's value?

Of course, if all of this feels excessively nitpicky that’s because it is. Come on in and look at what we discovered while scouring pop culture for minuscule math errors that got stuck in people's brains.
