| This guy at the bus stop told me that they just discovered that all calculators manufactured... |

since 1987 are off by "2".
You need to go back and revisit each calculation you have made since then, and subtract 2 from the answer.
Wikipedia says this is true, and I verified it with Snopes.

But that's incorrect. If they were off by 2, thousands of math answers would be FAIL.

| 2. 50 squared being off by 2 is preatty obvious |

There are thousands of calculations run every day for which an error of exactly 2 would be impossible to miss.
