  1. k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

    Hissssssss

  2. jam says:

    So did I pass or not?

  3. The Moomin says:

    There’s an invisible ‘i’ in the correct answer.

    • jam says:

      So the correct answer is… ??

      • k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

        42

        • guybo1 says:

          the ultimate answer to any question.

          • Guan-Di says:

            Yes, now if only we could figure out the actual question…

          • Passionario says:

            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:

            “Think of a number, any number.”

  4. The Moomin says:

    Festive wishes, and a mistletoe kiss
    To all the bloggers I’m sure to miss.
    *squeeze*

  5. k@ the custard fairy on top of the tree & IgnoreButton™ says:

    Them’s some kinky gnomes!

  6. 1 says:

    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-_-

  7. missdiz says:

    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.

  8. Spookie Pie says:

    Id Tapp That ;)

  9. transistor09 says:

    Maybe it’s the wrong s.

  10. Humm. says:

    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.

  11. Simmo33 says:

    He put a space after the s in his answer.

  12. the ninky nonk says:

    this hurts my brain!!!

  13. 1 says:

    They really should kill of the comments on this website…

  14. granny says:

    haaa wrong hole!

  15. iguessitstim says:

    I hate coursecompass, I can’t tell you how many times that’s happened to me :(

  16. JustinCase says:

    I know it never points to true north!

  17. Matt says:

    I recognize that site, MyMathLab, right? Mandatory web-based math homework. I’ve had that happen before on there.

  18. granny says:

    *looks at answer*
    *looks at solution*
    *looks at answer*
    AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
    *goes out to find a meat hat to wear*

  19. 5 eagles says:

    SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. OR 42

  20. Horsey says:

    Course Compass fail

  21. ima mojO !!!1!!1! says:

    Hell yeah this sucks.

  22. Bob says:

    Well duh “s” is not equal to “s+space”

  23. Seb says:

    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!

  24. Walka says:

    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.

  25. crandol says:

    I think the real fail is that the person took a picture of their computer monitor.

  26. phoxis says:

    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

  27. Papa says:

    this is what happens when a bad programmer meets a geek user…

  28. Tom says:

    Hahah I hate My Math Lab..

  29. Demut says:

    It’s not really a fail when a retarded user thinks it’s funny to use a non-breaking space.

  30. Andrew Ong says:

    Carnage! How is that paradox possible?

  31. Waymon says:

    MathXL is evil!

  32. lol says:

    why didn’t you just print screen it lol, instead of taking a picture of your monitor…

  33. Cp. Obvious says:

    There’s a space after ‘s’ in answer!

  34. Mic says:

    the second S has a space after it… must be a very picky program

  35. Mic says:

    Oh, I think a few people already figured that out…

  36. The Joey says:

    that is my math lab, I use it at UTSA. it does that alot, i almost put something like that one time

  37. Alex says:

    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.

  38. cinsellik says:

    Thank you very nice sharing

  39. Snaussages says:

    it’s because he put a space after it…. it’s obvious by the underline.

    • NinjaYak says:

      yeah and the S is capitalized with the space

      • Aliquis says:

        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.

  40. jingle says:

    wow, let your hot desire
    set the blogs on fire…

    so crowded here, madness drive people nuts sometimes.

  41. smokey says:

    You pressed “you”, referring to me. That is incorrect. The correct answer is “you”.

  42. France says:

    great…another reason for me to absolutely loathe MyMathLab.

  43. Horsey says:

    Yeah ditto.

    • stormhawk says:

      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

  44. Radium93 says:

    LOL more fail is not possible to have

  45. Red says:

    Dear God, I hate coursecompass. That annoying bastard thinks every answer is wrong.

  46. Logan P says:

    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 “

  47. Nobody. says:

    I swear, if this happened to me, that computer would be destroyed.
    Okay, I’m not that dramatic.
    But still.

  48. mat says:

    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?

  49. hahaha, thats hilarious. I couldn’t imagine what i’d do if that happened to me.

  50. kittydriftwood says:

    i gotta lotta free 100′s in course compass for that reason =D

  51. Gladiator763 says:

    Is this from the University of Oklahoma?

  52. mike says:

    its cleary a lower case s when it should be a capital S. fail

  53. WiseJamaican says:

    Interesting site. Will be back again to understand what it is all about.

  54. Aaron says:

    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.

  55. sexycutie says:

    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!!!

  56. No easy says:

    Course Compass Sucks Ass!!!!

  57. YounisAMAX says:

    Oh! That’s not FAILBlog.org, it’s FAILBlog.org :P

  58. NitricAcid says:

    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.

  59. BunnySmashYouDie says:

    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.

  60. ho .. ho .. ho ..
    Merry Christmas!

  61. Jason says:

    Oh yes the joys of my math lab.

  62. Bau5 says:

    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!!!!!

  63. Yahokay says:

    That’s what you get when you type a five when ‘s’ is required! Or vice versa.

  64. Anon -_- says:

    How can you people not tell the difference between 5 and S? :O

  65. Tigon says:

    Sssilence!

  66. tdbamberry says:

    I HATE course compass! It does this to me all the time.

  67. Mihalj says:

    there’s a space in “your answer” ;\

  68. Brian says:

    This is fake. It can be done easily with Firebug.

  69. ayingel says:

    I HATE COURSE COMPASS.

    that is all.

  70. Hamam says:

    can’t believe i read all the rhymes

  71. Ld Elon says:

    the correction should have been a small s not capital, haaha, which means this fail is a fail :0

  72. Lol says:

    MyMathLab fails

  73. Niz says:

    The real fail is the person actually taking a picture of the monitor when theres a perfectly good Print Screen button!

  74. NettoSaito says:

    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…….

  75. ThatOneDude says:

    Nice photoshop…the top “S” is not angled like the rest of the text is…

  76. oh great says:

    happy new yr….. xD

  77. meek says:

    you must goto Devry

  78. hippyjipsn says:

    he put a space after the S…

  79. salvation says:

    the first one is an “s” and the second one is an “5″

  80. Hmmm, must be a Windows based program lmao jk

  81. anne says:

    that happened to me on the same website, except, my answer was: 1 and correct answer was: 1

  82. Lucidicantly says:

    It wasn’t what he said, it was the way he said it.

  83. Reservoir.X says:

    its obvious that he/she put a space after the s – because the red underline is extended further than the correct one.

  84. Allie says:

    Grrr…I had to use this exact program for my calculus class…it’s called coursecompass and it is AWFUL….

    • Allie says:

      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.

  85. Chelsea says:

    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.

  86. Lizarda says:

    Gotta love mathxl. T_T

  87. Kelly says:

    Ugh. I use that for calculus. I hate ittt.

  88. pl says:

    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!

  89. Nick says:

    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.

  90. Ugh. I use that for calculus. I hate ittt.

  91. Finaldeath says:

    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.
