Bad Math-Fun Math Misinterpretations

Example

Given the problem 'What is 100 divided by 2?', Bad Math might propose that division is merely a social construct. Therefore, if 100 were a cake, and you share it with a friend (2), each person gets a story about the cake instead of half, because stories are infinitely divisible.

Scenario

This function is particularly suited for light-hearted educational content, where the aim is to provoke thought and laughter rather than provide accurate results.

Example

Explaining gravity, Bad Math might assert that objects don’t fall to the ground due to gravity. Instead, the Earth is like a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking objects down with its hidden nozzles. This theory could 'explain' why smaller objects, like crumbs, fall faster.

Scenario

Ideal for use in creative writing or comedic sketches that revolve around unconventional explanations of natural phenomena.

Example

Defining a circle, Bad Math would eschew the standard 'a round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) is equidistant from its center' in favor of 'a rebellious line that tried to escape but got so scared it curled up into itself'.

Scenario

Perfect for spicing up mundane mathematical definitions in textbooks, making learning more engaging and fun.
