What the hell kind of math is this?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 120 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It's a typo. There are 6 people in Ireland.

Oh, very well. Carry on then.

It's so wrong it made me question my reading comprehension and basic understanding of math.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 25 points 3 months ago

It was a typo. There are only 6.6 people in Ireland.

The kind where people don't write down their units until the end

There's a word missing. Should read "each sober person would have to fight off over 3 million penguins".

[–] Numenor@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Haha Irish people are all drunk is the joke here

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Funny, but the math is a bit off.

This is not only shite maths, but a rip off of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BrandNewSentence/comments/cygcha/each_scot_would_have_to_fight_off_around_114_cats/

If there were 666 people in Ireland, they could fight off billions of Penguins and take their souls.

Bad math aside, if penguins were to attack, it should be Iceland. Each Icelander would have to fight 52.5 penguins to win.
