Math Myths: Real or Rumor?

Numbers come with a surprising number of "everybody knows" rules — and a lot of them are flat wrong. Believing a math myth (times always makes bigger, a percent can’t top 100) quietly trips people up for years, while some of the strangest-sounding facts about numbers are provably true. A confident "MathBot" is about to explain how numbers work. You’re the fact-checker: for each claim, decide — is it a real math FACT, or a myth about numbers? The truth panel will show exactly where the sound-bite and the actual maths part ways — with a proof you can check yourself.
