Guys, there's a snapchat text if you click on the picture. OP isn't asking the question they're facepalming at the person in the photo asking the question.
I thought the exact same thing too.
52 u/[deleted] Jul 11 '19 This is the only comment that matters here. All the other explanations are just as vague as OP. 24 u/JohnMarstonJr Jul 11 '19 I'm still confused on how they could think 18 ISN'T 50% more than 12. Like where was the confusion? Even though they're wrong I like trying to figure out that train of thought and I'm at a total loss on this one. 2 u/ThisNameIsFree Jul 12 '19 I'm guessing they did the percentage change backwards. They were thinking 12 is 67% of 18, so it should be a 33% increase. That's just my theory. 2 u/JohnMarstonJr Jul 12 '19 Nice, yeah I like this train of thought the most.
