I don’t suppose there is a third option? Those answers are nowhere NEAR the correct one.

Some University. It looks like Mathematics is the only college they have!

-8,327,683 is correct if you make a rounding error on the square root of 32 (5.6 instead of 5.7)

I got what wizard got - maybe there’s a trap door for us for actually doing math.

I got -8,332,202.913. My question is, how did he get the second option? Random number or did he mess up doing the equation on purpose to get that number?

First Sundays Foxtrot and now this.
Math nerds are glowing and math phobics are twitching.

No rational answer at all… Don’t think this would happen on Foxtrot!
I agree with KingRat that you have to make a pretty bad rounding error to get (A). Doesn’t McPherson’s calculator have more than two digits? Perhaps we should chip in to get him a better one!
I think the Door A/Door B question will put engineers through door A, liberal arts majors through door B, and collect math majors in the hallway.

Pentium CPU designers thru door A, Political Science majors through door B (they’ll skew the numbers however they want)
