I don’t know many mathematicians who can add well enough to calculate the shares, anyway. They lose the skill some time after calculus.

THANK YOU!!! I hate it when this happens. I usually reply with “I’m a math major, not an accounting major”. I’m sure this scenario is one of the largest pet peeves shared by math geeks.
ok back to HW

Yeah, so annoying. That response is fantastic!
Going out with a group of math majors is fun; it takes about as long to figure out how much we’re all paying as it does to eat.

At Caltech, we actually have a running joke where the math majors are not allowed to calculate the bill/tip/etc. Often, one will hear “OK, I need a non-math major to calculate the tip here!”
(The reason being, of course, that we have all forgotten how arithmetic works, being so muddled in abstract nonsense.)

I really enjoy the neuro student’s facial expression.

Of course, I met a few neuro students at the orientation for grad school, and they seem just fine… heck, I’ll probably be doing some stuff with neuro since I’m (gasp) applied!
