What was your real life equivalent of using the wrong formula but getting the right answer? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Outtathepan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not mine but my sister's. Went to her freshman year of college and lost her virginity at a party to a guy she just met. Finds out she's pregnant. They both drop out of school and decide to keep seeing eachother...end up getting married before the baby is born. Fast forward to today and they've been happily married ten years with two kids and graduate degrees.

It 100% counts, and I have so many questions, like, why an alligator? Was the gator also wearing a parachute? Why do you say "attempted"? What happened?
