Yes, I've heard it in real conversation Yes, I've read it online No, I haven't heard of it until now No, and I suspect you're making it up View Results With the discussion in Corrik's topic, I'm curious.

Robazoid 11/21/17 3:50:39 PM #4:	I heard it from a math teacher once as an example of how math can be used in real life Then, over the years, I subsequently heard it multiple times from people who'd also taken that teacher's math class so they probably all got it from him.

banananor 11/21/17 5:09:48 PM #9:	it's always been a funny rule of thumb people would bring it up in high/middle school, because around that point the margins are razor thin --- You did indeed stab me in the back.
