The Problem Increases A Thousandfold

(We are in British Literature, and we are trying to make the group-work easier by using Google Docs to combine everything into one document.)

Teacher: *stares at document on board for a moment* “You see, this is a downside of using Google Docs. You get vandals! For instance, that part should say, ‘usually created by committees’, not ‘usually created by committed murders’… And look, that should be three hundred years, not three thousand!”

(We notice that the number is 3,000,000.)

Class: “That’s three million!”

Teacher: “…That’s also why I never became a math instructor.”
