$Two-panel comic in which Sonic tries and fails to do math while Tails watches amusedly. In the first panel, Sonic is sweating while staring intently at a mathematical equation, “136,772 + 40 = ???????”, while three blue dots hover over his head. Tails finds him and watches on, a yellow question mark hovering over his head. In the second panel, Sonic ‘solves’ the equation with a confident “= 136,892,” with stars surrounding it and all, but the red coloring on the solution suggests it was incorrect. Tails, with a sweatdrop on his temple, grimaces while providing the correct solution of “= 136,812...” written in green to show it is correct.$

Based on a true story (read: a mildly-amusing thing that consistently happens to me whenever I play Sonic Dash.)

$Two screenshots of Sonic Dash, featuring Rouge floating in the rich blue sky of Green Hill Zone. At this time in Felicia’s run, she had gained 285,798 points and had a total of 136,772 rings. Her 10 rings she had gained in the past stage were multiplied by 4 to make 40 rings to reward her for clearing the stage, but the second screenshot shows her being given 120 rings instead for a total of 136,892 rings.$
