I’ve tested this using Apple’s calculator (screenshot), PHP interpreter, Alfred, and DuckDuckGo. A coworker also tried it using ChatGPT:

      They obviously butchered maths with their assumption that n - 0.05 = {n-1}.95 where n ∈ N. Due to the nature of literal butchering, it results in gore.

        But the chatGPT reply even explains that … how are they still not getting it?

          Ate the wrong brownies? “E” on the pills didn’t stand for Estrogen but Ecstasy?

          What I wonder is that apparently multiple people (they and the coworker) don’t get it.
