The computer, Deep thought, after seven and a half million years of calculating, had announced that the Answer is in fact 42. Being unsatisfied with the Answer, they set about finding the Question. Deep Thought designs a computer, the Earth, to calculate the Question. However, ten million years later, and just five minutes before the completion of the program, the Earth is demolished by the Vogons.
Many believe that the Ultimate Question is “What do you get if you multiply six by nine?” because that’s what Arthur’s brain randomly generates from the Scrabble tiles on prehistoric earth. That is not the Question. The earth experiment was tainted by the arrival of the Golgafrinchans, so Arthur was not five minutes away from the Question after all.
But someone does know it:
Marvin.
Marvin, who has a brain the size of a planet, read Arthur’s brainwaves and extrapolated the Question, even correcting for the error in the experiment. And he says it, too; he asks the mattress Zem the Question in the book Life, the Universe, and Everything.
This, then, is the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything:
There was a young man from McNeese
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp
When asked “does it hurt?”
He replied “No it doesn’t,
But I’m certainly glad it wasn’t a hornet.”
Have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year, may they be great.
I hope the fat man with the reindeer doesn’t come late.
May you get your share of kisses from friends norm’lly shy,
‘Cause Moomin, you deserve it. You’re one helluva guy.
Why do people post whatever mistakes they find on this site, it at least should be funny…. I wouldn’t be surprised if people started finding spelling errors in books and posting them soon-_-
Section? Network? Website??? I find this highly confusing. Let me try to get this clear:
Division: Potato
Network: BMW
Department: Cheezburger
Section: Failblog
So you’re fine with the posting of random mistakes that aren’t even funny? P.S why are you trying to be a jerk by inferring I have no talent as I posted that this wasn’t funny…
Oh, but I was inferring you have talent. A lot.
I am against the discrimination against random mistakes. They deserve at least as many opportunities as the planned ones.
You mean racism as in hatred and discrimination towards the “fat race”? When are you people going to learn overweight is not a race, it’s sexual orientation.
But without comments how would anybody know how cool you are for dissing a bunch of people whose only crime is making me laugh more than the fails themselves??
well… your answer is a capitol “S” the correct answer is a lower case “s”. you cant use capitols in binomial equations. it should say, “user fail” because your retarded.
I was forced to use this program. It is called mathXL This is just one fail, but the average student will encounter one or two of these a DAY. It is an evil and ridiculously picky program.
How can you tell the difference when both letters are the of same height as the lower case letters on the same line? Maybe you were looking at the first S in the message (in “Sorry”). That’s indeed capitalized.
thirded, it’s so damn nitpicky, you can have the right answer but it tells you your wrong because you don’t have the spacing correct or some such bullshit
The problem is that the person input a space after the character and the developer of the site didn’t remove extra spaces from the end of answers. To the computer “s” is not equal to “s “
Anyone taking an online test with “The first terms of these binomial factors multiply to equal the first term…” should know better than to put a space after their answer, and you’d think the geniuses running this website would have caught on… don’t you guys have an entire team working on this?
It’s bad enough the poor guy had to choose from letters a through z on a multiple choice question. Then he gets it right and you bastards punish him for it…ugh.
Recently, I found an interesting site called __BlackWhiteFinder.com__ It’s a nice place- for Black Women and Black Men, or White Women and- White Men, to interact with each other. Race is- not problem there. You may check out or tell your- friends.FREE TO JOIN…C’MON NOW!!!
Actually this may be a programing contest and hidden symbols like endline and end of string if forgotten may turn those results,actually its quite common.
Ofcourse your answer is wrong!, you’ve answered “s to the power of something”, you didn’t only answer with an “s”, to me it was you who’s the failure, not course compass!!!!!
Also…to the people saying this is fake…this website doesn’t underline your answer and the correct answer, it’s something that the person did after taking the snapshot of the program to emphasize that it doesn’t accept the answer.
I actually used this program for my college algebra class! If this fail is in fact legitimate, then this doesn’t surprise me at all. The whole program was fail.
That’s completely legit, it did the same thing to me multiple times. Hence the reason i ended up on this page. Except mine was a math problem, put the answer in clicked check answer and bam. WRONG, so i click show me how to do this problem, the dam thing comes out with the same answer…. paid hard earned money to get bad grades. FAIL!
I wonder if this comes from the same site that “We’re sorry, you only got 7 out of 7 right. You need to answer 8 questions correctly to pass this quiz” comes from.
Hissssssss
I cobra’lieve the answer is wrong.
I will viper it off and start again.
Sorry I asped
An a con da into thinking it was wrong too!
You’re getting me all rattled up!
Are you sure I am not being boa ring?
♫ Mamba told me not to come ♫
This game is so bad, it’s giving me cottonmouth.
I’ve had it with these motha****in’ answers on this motha****in’ game!
Oooo! Garter your loins! MsB is all rattled up!
your comment is rattling my brain!
omg…..he put a space after the s……”s’ ‘”
snake pun…
So did I pass or not?
Yes.
you passed it to me and i failed
There’s an invisible ‘i’ in the correct answer.
So the correct answer is… ??
42
the ultimate answer to any question.
Yes, now if only we could figure out the actual question…
The computer, Deep thought, after seven and a half million years of calculating, had announced that the Answer is in fact 42. Being unsatisfied with the Answer, they set about finding the Question. Deep Thought designs a computer, the Earth, to calculate the Question. However, ten million years later, and just five minutes before the completion of the program, the Earth is demolished by the Vogons.
Bummer!
Don’t worry, the dolphins bring it back…
’cause the mice, whilst super intelligent, never quite get around to it!
Well they did have to find a way to thank humanity for all the fish afterall
I thought it was “How many roads must a man walk down?”
Can you walk down a road that goes up a hill?
Depends on the curvature of the universe.
CTOANT – physics WIN!
You can if you start at the top of the hill
Many believe that the Ultimate Question is “What do you get if you multiply six by nine?” because that’s what Arthur’s brain randomly generates from the Scrabble tiles on prehistoric earth.

“Think of a number, any number.”
Festive wishes, and a mistletoe kiss
To all the bloggers I’m sure to miss.
*squeeze*
Are you off for the holly days now? Am I going to be lonely this Christmas?
*squeeze*
I’m here! We can be lonely together.
*squeeze*
Happy Chrimbo to all ye folk,
If your Turkey’s dry, you’ll surely choke.
*Moominmwahsqueeze*
Merry X-mas to all. I hope you have a happy and safe holiday.
Make a rhyme or pay the consequence!
Merry X-mas to all,
Be safe and don’t fall.
Better?
It’ll do and I won’t scoff.
So this time, I’ll let you off.
I’ll tell you now, you are too kind.
Your first rebuff weighed on my mind.
Serious? I never am.
What do you expect with a name like jam?
What I expected from the one named jam,
Is someone who was the school room ham.
On those rare of times when I went to school,
Not one soul thought me that cool.
In a thread of joy and regale,
Your self pity has brought the fail.
I fail for only rhyme, not reason,
The pity poems won’t last the season.
So funny to see so much fail, stick with me, I need to check the mail. its scary out.
Happy Chrimbo to all ye folk,
If your Bologna’s dry, it’s probably broke.
The Christmas fairy has gone awry,
She needs some lube, to fix that dry.
No I don’t I’ll have you know!
I am always ready, you so & so!
If dryness frets you take this tube,
and apply liberally Baconlube.
May all your feasts be gay and merry
Eat first your yeasts, drink than the sherry
At Christmas dinner, don’t be a hog
What’s not filled by food can be filled by nog
It’s Christmas time, feasts make you plump
Just keep in mind, no spuds in the rump.
*then
There was a young man from McNeese
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp
When asked “does it hurt?”
He replied “No it doesn’t,
But I’m certainly glad it wasn’t a hornet.”
I prefer a cameltoe kiss, Moomin. *hugs*
make mine a moose knuckle *squeeze all!*
*grows several extra arms*

Have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year, may they be great.
I hope the fat man with the reindeer doesn’t come late.
May you get your share of kisses from friends norm’lly shy,
‘Cause Moomin, you deserve it. You’re one helluva guy.
Merry Christmas, my friend.

*applauds Shadow*
‘Twas nothing, really. Christmas always puts me in a poetic mood.
I am thankful then it was not rude!
Oh, don’t, I always keep it clean.
I always try my best not to be mean.
*ahem* Don’t worry is what that should have said.
That was embarrassing. I’m turning all red.
Ah panic not about that fail,
it will make an epic tale!
My Swedish fist
has made that list.
I get the gist of this li’l list.
My entry looks more like this.
*collects squeeze and smooch*
Happy Holidays to ya!
Them’s some kinky gnomes!
kinky gnomes??? Where??? I want some.
Binomes. You find them in the forest known as math.
Do they ride around in the Gnome-mobile?
No- their mobile gnomes!
Like Travel Gnomes?
Sort of, but without mushroom inside.
White cream filling?
Twinky Gnome!?
gnomes need loving too, even if they don’t want/know it
why do you think i hide them in my Sock Drawer?
with out that placement, it would be a bore.
Bi-gnomials? Sounds like my first google for the day!
sounds like E.D. is bi-gnomial-curious.hmm
Why do people post whatever mistakes they find on this site, it at least should be funny…. I wouldn’t be surprised if people started finding spelling errors in books and posting them soon-_-
I think people do that to upset us. How they dare to post mistakes? We want pictures of cute cats!
<——
↑ kute katSqueeeeeee
*squeeze*
I said “whatever” mistakes they find as in one’s that aren’t even funny they post, LOLcats is just as good if not better than this section anyway.
Sorry, that’s not correct.
Your spelling: one’s
Correct spelling: one’s
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
This is a “section”? I was thinking this was a whole newspaper!
No wonder I was finding the weather reports very cryptic.
You need to look at Aja’s shipping forecast for news on the Dogger bank.
it’s a section of the Cheezeburger network…
Cheeseburger’s in Paradise.
*faints*
*Fans K@*
*wipes brow with cool cloth*
Section? Network? Website??? I find this highly confusing. Let me try to get this clear:
Division: Potato
Network: BMW
Department: Cheezburger
Section: Failblog
I thought it was:
Life
Domain- Onlineii
Kingdom- Animal
Phylum- BMW
Class- 4C
Order- Network
Family- Cheezburger
Genus- Failblog
Species- Tuberosum
I remember that system…. i used to remember it: King Phillip Called Over 5 girl Scouts!!
Dogger, Fisher, German Bight: northeasterly 5, showers, moderate or good.
I always wondered what the inspiration behind the beginning of Madness was.
Think of all that great music we have this question to thank for.
…and baggy trousers.
Acid-wash jeans…
Id Tapp That
You’re going to get a Tapp in the eye soon, if you’re not careful.
I don’t want to go blind
You need rehab!
Well I’ll say No No No!
Ego rather not.
Maybe it’s the wrong s.
Maybe he mispelled ass.
Maybe I misspelt misspelled.
Maybe you misspelt piss-smelt
It’s a pissibolity.
How can he do that, when it is written on the back of his jacket?
very carefully.
Can you see the back of your jacket? Go ahead and try.
Yes.
(I have hypermobile arm and leg joints)
*looks smug*
Ooh. Kinky.
So, you’re extra flexible then?
My Husband is a very happy man!!
But how does that help you see your back? Is your neck that flexible too?
It looks kind of smaller plus somebody probably used alt-code to make the s so that they could post it on this website…
Those sneaky saboteurs are always using complicated tricks to fail. What a shame!
No wonder people with natural talent, like you, are offended.
So you’re fine with the posting of random mistakes that aren’t even funny? P.S why are you trying to be a jerk by inferring I have no talent as I posted that this wasn’t funny…
I think you missed the joke here. Twice.
Are you new here?
No! Course not! Been here since yesterday, don’t you know.
Oh, but I was inferring you have talent. A lot.
I am against the discrimination against random mistakes. They deserve at least as many opportunities as the planned ones.
Twice as many. Actually
May I refer you to the Vote button at the top of the page. Feel free to use it.
Hee hee! You keep sending people to the wrong button!
Would innocent little me do something like that?
Now you’ve done it – you’ve upset lou. He can be menacing, I’m told. Run away!
You can run too, if you want. But maybe you will run faster (and chase will be more interesting) without those pants.
I am not afraid of you! I will zip myself into my Japanese snuggie – it’s more confining than a chastity belt!
You still have plenty of freedom for the mouth, I see.
A mouth full of sharp, white teeth.
Just dont use them. I hate it when they use teeth.
unless it’s for the grater good
The s the person had given as the answer is slightly fatter than the one that’s the correct answer. I say that this is racism towards the fat.
You mean racism as in hatred and discrimination towards the “fat race”? When are you people going to learn overweight is not a race, it’s sexual orientation.
No, it is a religion. Just like alcoholism.
must….have ….lard….smothering…..me
…and certain types of haircuts.
My mullet is my faith.
Do you have a mullet wig, Arthur?
No, it’s just not on his head… Sorry Arthur, just couldn’t resist;)
Introducing the new MerkinMullet™!
He put a space after the s in his answer.
Granny can put a space in anybody’s ass.
At least he’d like to.
for that feeling of fullness
*snork* (and that’s the first time I have used that)
*is proud*
*feels the wind in the “sails” again*
Bad granny.*takes the wind out of the sails out again*.
this hurts my brain!!!
They really should kill of the comments on this website…
Don’t… don’t make me cry.
Pbbbbbbbbbbbt
so that you can be first LOLOLOL 111111!!!!!!!!
and then failblog will be yours all yours muhahaha muhahahahaha!
Is ‘kill of’ like a more intense ‘smacks of’?
Like- this comment ‘kills of’ troll.
Apparently, “they” think that we’re doing fine. I guess that makes you the person who does it wrong on this blog.
But without comments how would anybody know how cool you are for dissing a bunch of people whose only crime is making me laugh more than the fails themselves??
Wait, that’s a crime now?
Oh man, I’ll never survive in jail! I’m too pretty!
You’ll never take me alive, coppers!
*keystone cop music plays*
haaa wrong hole!
There are no “wrong” holes, granny. Just more expensive ones.

How much for the ear?
ah mindf*ck? that’ll cost you

I hate coursecompass, I can’t tell you how many times that’s happened to me
I know it never points to true north!
I recognize that site, MyMathLab, right? Mandatory web-based math homework. I’ve had that happen before on there.
Congratulations.
Yeah, I am in Algebra 1B at University of Phoenix. This happened to me too. I lol’ed when I saw it.

You have a safe and forward holiday ima moj0.
Course Compass fail
Hell yeah this sucks.
Well duh “s” is not equal to “s+space”
LULZ
Looks like you wrote s with a space beside it as the red line on the “your answer” bit is slightly longer than the one on the answer.
Still no excuse, bad programming!
Who is this comment intended for?
well… your answer is a capitol “S” the correct answer is a lower case “s”. you cant use capitols in binomial equations. it should say, “user fail” because your retarded.
I think its more likely he used a Cyrillic dze (ѕ) instead of a instead of the Latin s.
I think the real fail is that the person took a picture of their computer monitor.
this is a computer science question, you had to enter the nonprintable character which is before or after the correct answer in the database. lol
this is what happens when a bad programmer meets a geek user…
Hahah I hate My Math Lab..
It’s not really a fail when a retarded user thinks it’s funny to use a non-breaking space.
Carnage! How is that paradox possible?
MathXL is evil!
why didn’t you just print screen it lol, instead of taking a picture of your monitor…
There’s a space after ‘s’ in answer!
yeah i noticed that as well..bad test if it’s that picky..
the second S has a space after it… must be a very picky program
Oh, I think a few people already figured that out…
that is my math lab, I use it at UTSA. it does that alot, i almost put something like that one time
1604 410 10 35 281?
I was forced to use this program. It is called mathXL This is just one fail, but the average student will encounter one or two of these a DAY. It is an evil and ridiculously picky program.
Thank you very nice sharing
it’s because he put a space after it…. it’s obvious by the underline.
yeah and the S is capitalized with the space
How can you tell the difference when both letters are the of same height as the lower case letters on the same line? Maybe you were looking at the first S in the message (in “Sorry”). That’s indeed capitalized.
wow, let your hot desire
set the blogs on fire…
so crowded here, madness drive people nuts sometimes.
You pressed “you”, referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is “you”.
great…another reason for me to absolutely loathe MyMathLab.
Yeah ditto.
thirded, it’s so damn nitpicky, you can have the right answer but it tells you your wrong because you don’t have the spacing correct or some such bullshit
LOL more fail is not possible to have
Dear God, I hate coursecompass. That annoying bastard thinks every answer is wrong.
The problem is that the person input a space after the character and the developer of the site didn’t remove extra spaces from the end of answers. To the computer “s” is not equal to “s “
I swear, if this happened to me, that computer would be destroyed.
Okay, I’m not that dramatic.
But still.
Anyone taking an online test with “The first terms of these binomial factors multiply to equal the first term…” should know better than to put a space after their answer, and you’d think the geniuses running this website would have caught on… don’t you guys have an entire team working on this?
hahaha, thats hilarious. I couldn’t imagine what i’d do if that happened to me.
i gotta lotta free 100′s in course compass for that reason =D
Is this from the University of Oklahoma?
its cleary a lower case s when it should be a capital S. fail
Interesting site. Will be back again to understand what it is all about.
It’s bad enough the poor guy had to choose from letters a through z on a multiple choice question. Then he gets it right and you bastards punish him for it…ugh.
Recently, I found an interesting site called __BlackWhiteFinder.com__ It’s a nice place- for Black Women and Black Men, or White Women and- White Men, to interact with each other. Race is- not problem there. You may check out or tell your- friends.FREE TO JOIN…C’MON NOW!!!
Course Compass Sucks Ass!!!!
Oh! That’s not FAILBlog.org, it’s FAILBlog.org
I teach at a college, and the “Online learning” software that the publisher tries to sell with the textbook often does exactly the same thing.
Actually this may be a programing contest and hidden symbols like endline and end of string if forgotten may turn those results,actually its quite common.
ho .. ho .. ho ..
Merry Christmas!
Oh yes the joys of my math lab.
Ofcourse your answer is wrong!, you’ve answered “s to the power of something”, you didn’t only answer with an “s”, to me it was you who’s the failure, not course compass!!!!!
That’s what you get when you type a five when ‘s’ is required! Or vice versa.
How can you people not tell the difference between 5 and S? :O
Sssilence!
I HATE course compass! It does this to me all the time.
there’s a space in “your answer” ;\
This is fake. It can be done easily with Firebug.
I HATE COURSE COMPASS.
that is all.
can’t believe i read all the rhymes
the correction should have been a small s not capital, haaha, which means this fail is a fail :0
MyMathLab fails
The real fail is the person actually taking a picture of the monitor when theres a perfectly good Print Screen button!
in my college we had to use programs like this….. ARG MATH!!!!!!!!! *twitches*
i payed 75 $ for a program that hated me and almost made me fail… if you got below a 90% you couldn’t take the test…….
Nice photoshop…the top “S” is not angled like the rest of the text is…
happy new yr….. xD
you must goto Devry
he put a space after the S…
the first one is an “s” and the second one is an “5″
Hmmm, must be a Windows based program lmao jk
that happened to me on the same website, except, my answer was: 1 and correct answer was: 1
It wasn’t what he said, it was the way he said it.
its obvious that he/she put a space after the s – because the red underline is extended further than the correct one.
Grrr…I had to use this exact program for my calculus class…it’s called coursecompass and it is AWFUL….
Also…to the people saying this is fake…this website doesn’t underline your answer and the correct answer, it’s something that the person did after taking the snapshot of the program to emphasize that it doesn’t accept the answer.
I actually used this program for my college algebra class! If this fail is in fact legitimate, then this doesn’t surprise me at all. The whole program was fail.
Gotta love mathxl. T_T
Ugh. I use that for calculus. I hate ittt.
That’s completely legit, it did the same thing to me multiple times. Hence the reason i ended up on this page. Except mine was a math problem, put the answer in clicked check answer and bam. WRONG, so i click show me how to do this problem, the dam thing comes out with the same answer…. paid hard earned money to get bad grades. FAIL!
php fail (:
I wonder if this comes from the same site that “We’re sorry, you only got 7 out of 7 right. You need to answer 8 questions correctly to pass this quiz” comes from.
Ugh. I use that for calculus. I hate ittt.
If you look closely you can actually see the fail is on the person who gave the answer.
He put a space after “s”. However how picky that quiz is, is pretty fail.
