   Wouldn’t it have been easier to do the math than spell plutonium or zirconium?

   Its CLOSE, but you have to use the Celsius boiling point

   3232 – 40 = 3192

   “Close” is not good enough in math. So the boy is WRONG and gets a failing mark.

   Depends on the branch of math. You are correct for arithmetic.

   Hope he remembers this when he becomes a teacher, foreshadow, I think, by Michael wearing a matching green plaid shirt as does his teacher.

    I did all that work to find out that he’s 3 off, when he implies in the strip that his answer is wrong. Why am I still upset?

    I too went on an Internet search….. as posted earlier by others…. Michael is soooo wrong. If he wanted to get out of math then he should have at least made sure his answer was correct. No matter what he wrote.
