Oops: My Sun column this morning about math exams … contains a math error.
Your chances of acing a multiple choice exam are not necessarily better than winning Lotto 6-49. That depends on how many questions the exam has. (At 20 questions, your chances are about even.)
However, your chances for each question are better than 6-49.
Thanks to an astute reader for pointing this out.
Apparently, I can’t count

Thanks for the chuckle Ricky, your math blooper was practically a good will gesture, in the way that it helped a lot of normal white guys knock “correct an asian at math” off their bucket lists. If only more writers were so benevolent.
