John Gruber wrote about NYT’s ironic dismissal of the relevance of algebra.
Michael Cieply, reporting for the NYT:
“The Interview” generated roughly $15 million in online sales and rentals during its first four days of availability, Sony Pictures said on Sunday.
Sony did not say how much of that total represented 15 sales. The studio said there were about two million transactions over all.
Gruber:
Apparently, algebra is necessary for New York Times reporters and editors, because if they had a basic grasp of it, they’d understand that Sony revealed the exact split between 15 sales: 1.67 million rentals (5 million).
