Even Nobel prize winners make very public math mistakes, and this year it happened when they dabbled in presidential politics.

A group of Nobel prize winners sent out a public letter of endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president with a note saying that 70 of them signed on. The letter had 69 signatures.

Oops.

Nobel chemistry prize winner Martin Chalfie of Columbia University said he had left off the 70th Nobel laureate, neuroscientist Paul Greengard of Rockefeller University, because he was late addition. When a reporter pointed out the counting mistake, Chalfie sent out a correction with a math joke:

"There are three types of people in the world: those that can count and those that can't. I am clearly in the latter category."
