Math 101 Fail


So my brilliant engineering gf and I were driving through downtown last Friday, en route to dinner when we saw Encana's new 58-story building , The Bow. I casually remarked it will soon be Calgary's tallest building.

In response, my ever patriotic gf said The Bow is not even HALF as tall as the Taipei 101 (which, of course, has 101 floors).

^_^

I did some quick math in my head and 2 x 58 = 116, which is taller than the 101 floors.

She countered that even doubling The Bow, it is still only 5 floors taller than the Taipei 101.

Like any good bf would do, I corrected her of course, and got pinched for my reward.

...


- you got that right!
