So, doing my accounting homework for a lab due tonight, I decided to double check my homework.

I did something wrong. My math doesn't balance on my sheet. I hate this assignment, but if my math doesn't balance, I need to find out why.

I'm posting my string here. I've been working on this since 9 AM this morning, and I've gotten my error to a $190 in my favor; but that's not a $0 difference on Assets = Liability + Equity. Any input on homework would be appreciated.

[Yes, it's based on playing monopoly. I hate my professor.]

Accounting sounds like it sucks.

I have no idea why.

It's a $50 withdrawal from Capital to escape Jail.

Edit: It does. I'm not used to the terminology yet, so I mix up Debit and Credit- they seem to work... differently... from every other application I've seen.

That's becuase it's from the other side.

Make sure nobody saw you do it, keep the money.

If Professor objects, tell him you learned your monopoly on the streets

As long as you are the banker you can do whatever you like..... Monopoly really is accurate.

Sounds easy compared to being waist-deep in slope-field bullshit. I don't know if I'll make it through this semester of math.

Are you kidding? If I remember them right, slope fields are ridiculously easy, just tedious, at worst.

Turns out homework isn't due till next week.

Was told that I had submitted it, so she's not letting me continue it. Marked it 0.

I'm not posting anymore today. I'm very angry.

So...wait, what?

She gave you 0 because you handed it in early?

I think he means he turned it in early, but done wrong wrong. Since he already turned it in, he's being denied the opportunity to spend the remainder of the time before the due date correcting it.

Pip Boy got it right.
