Guy #1 is correct and I wouldn't say guy #2 is confidently incorrect, as he only sent one message.
Confidently Incorrect
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

Some Pythagori in this thread as well :)
I want to get to the bottom of this OP. Do you think that the guy who said pythagoras is the one that is confidently incorrect?
Yes, first guy is confidently incorrect, pythagorus lived over 2,500 years ago, so the chances of him operating that twitter account are slim at best.
Haven't played Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, have you?
No, middle guy thought he’d corrected first guy but first guy was correct all along.
Ok got it.. I thought you were mocking the guy that said Pythagoras.
No, I just particularly liked his comeback.
I’m genuinely confused, what is incorrect here? Tax deduction is not done?
Guy #1 calculates the payment per month. Guy #2 tries to "correct" him by calculating the payment per year. Guy #1 suggests that Guy #2 divide his answer by 12.
Guy #1 said Blake Griffin earns 2.8 million per month. If that is correct, the math chexk
Right, but the $50k figure mentioned is a yearly salary, not a monthly income. If you paid $4,500 a month on a $50,000 salary, you would pay $54,000 in child support per year, which is more than your total income.
What's the issue here? Seems correct to me
first/last person (same person) is incorrect; it says 258k/month, therefore you wouldn't divide said 9% by 12, i.e. equates to 4500/month on 50k.
edit, wait, no, im wrong, first guy is correct; 2.8 million per month on the income as well
Yea, that's the punch. All the numbers are per month, guy confidently incorectly kicks in with a yearly figure, gets actually corrected.
Glad you got there friend!
