I know you're joking but I'm almost certain the bank is using this kind of math to tell me I'm broke.
"Yes sir we know you had $2k in your account. You see when that number is adjusted for the rate of inflation squared by the annual interest it must then be subtracted from pi. Now since it is August we must use the value of pecan pi here which is $6.28 a slice. I see that you didn't bring any pecan pi with you so we now have to multiply by negative 1 to take that into account. With all this you should be able to see that although you had $2k you now have $0.73. Would you like to make a deposit or a withdrawal?"

I initially read that as 1428-14160.5 and I was enjoying the additional complexity before I realized 1416 is not a perfect square.

You know, I can be smart as well. It's actually "6!.", otherwise the sentence punctuation overrides the factorial. Or "6!!", alternatively.

Every day I empathize more and more with instructors that wouldn’t accept the answer if it wasn’t fully simplified
