Other mistake: The bank clerk with the grey hair, offering the cigarette and sitting back is supposed to work in "the late 70's" according to the narration. Surprised to see him again in the audience (front right) of the panel discussion on March 14, 2008, some 30 years later, looking not a year older. (00:01:35 - 01:53:40)

What makes this movie work the most is the writing and directing from Adam McKay. This movie manages to be really funny, whilst also being really serious and balances the two greatly. They manage to come up with creative ways of explaining the complicated parts to the audience, but it never feels like has been dumbed down or simplified. Tells a fascinating story and is infinitely rewatchable.

Question: When we first see Michael Burry at his desk, practicing drumming, he is wearing a T-shirt with what looks like a complicated mathematical formula on it. Can anyone identify this?
