Take a calculator. Not windows calculator. The normal ones which school/college kids use. Punch in 2704/52 in that. See even that is faulty!!

maybe we can file a Class action suit against M$ for this grave mistake and making me losing my mind. We can claim $50 Billion. That should be enough right ?

Ya i got 52, both by calculating vid pen and paper n vid a calculator, means there's no bug in the calci? You can get some bugs vid digital equipment like in window u cannot name a folder con, i thought it is this kind of a bug. Also in some older calcies, if u press key 3,9 and on button simultaneosly the calculator switches off, ven its on(something like this).
and there are lots of puzzels and mysteries with numbers, i thought it was something like this.
