A Slight Miscalculation by Ben Bova

Here’s a cute story about a scientist who develops a system to predict earthquakes.

But he’s having a little trouble with a part of his equation. 

Word gets around that an earthquake is coming.  On the day of the predicted disaster the flaw in the equation is revealed. 

It brought a smile to my face. Good fun.
