Get the Vice Mathmug.

Get the Math Baemug. A form of applied math usually learned in college (but outside of the classroom) that involves figuring out just how many beers from a case are rightfully yours. When splitting a case (commonly a 30 beer case of Keystone Light or Busch Light) with friends, one will usually perform a quick mental equation of the portion of the case that belongs to them.
It's been theorized that Case Math is the only form of math that's actually worth two fucks.
