I love my calculator, but something bad happened to it yesterday: It fell from the window.
When I ask some basic questions, my calculator gives me wrong numbers.
Here are the values:
What's $3\times7$?
= $2$
What's $5\times6$?
= $3$
What's $11\times5$?
= $5$
What's $4\times4$?
= $1$
What's wrong with my calculator? Why does it give these values?
Hint:
Its processor is running well
$Note: This\space is\space a \space story.$
I think:
the monitor / display is broken which results in the answer only showing the first digit:
so,
3 x 7 = 2(1)
5 x 6 = 3(0)
11 x 5 = 5(5)
4 x 4 = 1(6)
As for the story:
You were piss with your maths test result and you blame your calculator! So it's not 'fell' from the window but rather 'thrown'
According to, that:
It fell from your window.
Your calculator:
Has part of the Display Screen damaged.
Therefore:
It will only print/output the partial result of what you're inputting.
