Math Misinterpretation Comic: When 5+6=11 Becomes a Drinking Problem #1579770 (License: Personal Use)

In this four-panel Cyanide and Happiness comic, a teacher presents a basic addition problem: “If I have five bottles in one hand and six in another, what do I have?” The student answers “eleven bottles,” but the teacher, mishearing it as “eleven bottles?!!”, interprets it as a confession of alcohol abuse and suggests counseling. The humor stems from the absurd leap from arithmetic to addiction intervention.
