I was wondering if any other people have done so many practice problems in a textbook they find wrong answers listed in the back of the book. For some reason I get a lot of joy after doing 50 problems and finding one incorrect one...

Funny thing, I just found an incorrect answer at the back of the book and spent 30 minutes frustrating over what I did wrong.

This happens very often, especially in introductory texts.

It's frustrating. But meh, move on.

I found a typo on my MCAT. My actual MCAT. I was going to say something like send a letter, but I figured it was probably an experimental question if they didn't catch the typo.

it happens, you should probably send it to the publisher so that they can fix it for future editions
