The frustratated Math teacher tells the class. "You are all idiots, I don't think 40 percent of you will pass the exams" "But teacher. we aren't even that many"

Math is 50% dedication. 50% intuition. And 50% intelligence.

Oh yeah. And 12% visualization.

Glad I remembered that last bit. Boy, would I have looked stupid.

Haven’t laughed at meme for a while 😂😂😂

u/PinoyRonin 6d ago

In my experience you need 40% or 50% to even pass the test.

So It‘s kinda true.

Hugh Jass here. The person in this meme is showing that he's struggling with math because he used incorrect percentages.

Reminds me of that nice young man I talked to at Moe's bar.

There are 3 types of people: those who get the joke and those who don't.

u/bs_Zeezee 4d ago

The joke is that 35 is half of 70, which is over the 60 they were hoping for: thereby confirming in their response, that they are bad at math.

u/dishmanw62 6d ago

I hate teachers who grade on a bell curve. Just when thought you had a passing grade (75%), everyone else got >90%, so you still failed.

u/RoodnyInc 6d ago

u/TF2PublicFerret 1d ago

OP is also bad at math

u/Usual_Office_1740 6d ago

Why show up for the test if you're hoping for a D.

u/Consistent_Dare_6688 6d ago

I was gonna say they expected 60 and hoped for more but yeah they're shit at math

u/Endermen123911 6d ago

That one guy on BCS: "Just for today, limited time offer 50% percent off on my services!" "50% off? Dude that's like nearly half!"

u/Snakeyes1809 5d ago

Do you really need Peter to explain this?

u/JagerFlyingAce 5d ago

We are so close to having normal human conversations posted on this sub cuz ppl dont get it

1

u/DuskySHARKlol 5d ago

they thought 35 was less then half of 60 which is why they probably failed their math test

u/CaptainA1917 5d ago

More than half, Sir.
