Engineer. 2+2=5+/-1
I mean as an engineer, this should actually be 2+2=4 +/-1.
Computer science: 2+2=4 (for integers at least; try this with floating point numbers at your own peril, you absolute fool)
0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004
comparing floats for exact equality should be illegal, IMO
Statistician: 1+1=sqrt(2)
pi*pi = g
units don’t match, though
