Fair enough, I think I even have that hair, but pirates and good hair don't really match in my mind so I had the scruffy plait XD Sorry for the extra concern, I just didn't want someone to miss out if they won instead of me.
Nah, I'd be concerned too. XD And, really, thanks for pointing it out so that I could fix it right up.
I'm just disappointed in myself because I totally triple checked it all. And now XDD I can't trust my triple checks. I totally saw that every time and okayed it.
But <.< >.> I've had this happen over the years, so it's nothing new.
On a calculus exam, I totally wrote down that 2 x 3 = 5
I even had extra time to check over my paper, twice I think, before turning it in. And every time I read that line, it checked out as true. Yep, two times three equals five and has always equaled five. I can't even claim I read it as plus. XDD;
Ugh.
There were 10 questions, each worth 10 points. The teacher said if I'd left it as "2x3," I would've gotten full points.
Instead, I wrote 5 right under that line.
So.... she said she took off half credit, five points, for my mistake of writing 5. DX She knew I could multiply. And that was the last line of the problem! I'd gotten the whole rest of the problem correct. Had I written 6 (the answer), it'd be correct. AND I would've gotten 100% on that exam.
But I wrote that 2 x 3 = 5 and XDD did I just get a point off for a silly mistake? Nope.
She said I'd never make that mistake again tho.
And XDD I don't. .... because now I never trusted myself to math again during exams and always pulled out a calculator, to check even the smallest things <.<; like 2 x 3.
...Because I just get into that mode where something is true... and has always been true and then XDD see the exam the next time and just think "wtf was I thinking? The sky isn't purple! It's blue. Always blue!"
// story time.
Anyway XD; this was again one of those moments. OTL
Good thing they don't happen often... but they happen. And XD thanks for catching it. c:
