What the hell kind of math is this?

It's a typo. There are 6 people in Ireland.

It's so wrong it made me question my reading comprehension and basic understanding of math.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

It was a typo. There are only 6.6 people in Ireland.

The kind where people don't write down their units until the end

There's a word missing. Should read "each sober person would have to fight off over 3 million penguins".

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Haha Irish people are all drunk is the joke here

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Funny, but the math is a bit off.

If there were 666 people in Ireland, they could fight off billions of Penguins and take their souls.

Bad math aside, if penguins were to attack, it should be Iceland. Each Icelander would have to fight 52.5 penguins to win.
