Google Fails at simple Math. (Idea from Mac Secrets Book) I guess Google got smart and fixed it. Oh well, you can try the math problem on some other computer calculators and it will work like this. I wonder if they saw this YTMND and decided to fix i

Why is this in the top 5? It's good but it only has about 11 votes...

Maybe if you give it the right problem it will solve it right.

OMG Poopoopants fails at LIFE! Those aren't dots, retard, they're called DECIMAL POINTS. The answer is ZERO, dumbass! Go back to third grade math.

it's called floating point, has to do with computer hardware and not google itself

You get a 4 because you didn't use the Price Is Right failure sound.

Nice job using the Mario Kart failure theme, rather than the Price is Right one. It's different.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PUT PARENTHESES! Try this instead: (1-.9)-.1 It's zero.

You get that because there's no binary equivalent to 0.1.

While Google fixed this fault with their system, you can still see it occur on other computer calculators Try these: http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/scientific.htm http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/Calculator.html Have Fun :D

Common problem when approaching 0. Texas Instrument calculators do it sometimes too, especially when finding 0's on a graph.
