Remove trailing zeroes until the remaining number is one million (e.g. only six zeroes).

But the thing is a few of them are open to interpretation. 2 and 3 for instance -- is 2

You failed, because it clearly says you can only cross out one number.

Why don't you go rub skulks with your onos?
Theoretically you could just cross out the 1 and make the number zero. So the question can get even more fucky.

Oh I'm sorry, It says to cross out the number necessary when making the number one million. The last four zeros aren't needed, you should have crossed out the one and first six zeros.

That chant is absolutely going to be a fixture at Trump rallies from now on. His base aren't morons, they know he approves of them chanting it.

I mean they are morons, they just are morons who are keenly attuned to spotting when someone is giving off "i agree with your racism but can't explicitly say so at the moment" signals.

I've seen the "birds aren't real" tweets before and didn't realize how stupid this actually was. Some quotes:

quote:

This month, a billboard that reads “Birds Aren’t Real” went up on the Highland Strip near the University of Memphis. According to one Memphis man, it’s part of a movement to educate people on a mass government surveillance program that replaced birds with drones.

This Big Brother (or would it be Big Bird?) theory is that beginning in 1959, the United States government started killing off all birds in the country while simultaneously replacing them with identical, undercover surveillance drones — what we now call “birds.” Believers say that footage is used to monitor all Americans every day.

He said the government-controlled bird drones use power lines as “charging units” to power up, and birds that are eaten — like chicken and turkey — are actually synthetic meat alternatives.

Though his view may be uncommon, McIndoe doesn’t like to consider this a conspiracy, and he said he doesn’t identify with other conspiracies.

“Flat Earthers are out of their minds; they’re nuts,” he said. “There’s a lot of crazy people out there.”

He said this is just a phenomenon in the U.S., and it’s a reason for the distrust of the U.S. government.
