Ryland, legs crossed on the coffee table reading an article on his laptop not even looking up: “ babe stand up “

Tom: *stands and looks back for approval*

Ryland, still not looking up(don’t worry they’re into it): “sit down”

Tom: *immediately sits back down*

Ryland, pointing under the coffee table: “Look over here”

Tom: *intently observes*

Ryland, finds it adorable: “hm interesting”

Andy Weir did not double check this in an editing pass and nobody else caught it so there's just a weird discrepancy. His age is likely the correct factor of the two points as it comes in later in the book (still making him prodigious)

Ryland Grace was a grad student at 15, making him a super-prodigy and his fuckass 'im the least qualified person here' schpiel even more bullshit

Ryland Grace being the most infamous molecular biologist not just because he wrote a fuckass paper but also because he swaggered into academia AS A YOUTH
