Has anyone else noticed the discrepancy in the Biceps, Triceps badge descriptions?

The Altitude website says "For every 5 segments completed by October 18, 2019 you値l earn double the Wings. For every 10, we値l triple your gains, and for 20, you値l earn quadruple!" (bolding mine)

The EYW website says "for every five (5) segments completed, you値l earn 50% more Wings! Complete 10 segments and we値l increase your gains by 100% the Wings earned. Drop and give us 20 and you'll earn 150% more Wings!"

A bonus of 50% more wings is not double the wings (2x), it is one and a half times (1.5x, or 150% total).
A bonus of 100% more wings is not triple the wings (3x), it is double (2x, or 200% total).
A bonus of 150% more wings is not quadruple the wings (4x), it is two and a half times (2.5x, or 250% total).

I guess word problems aren't the EYW teams forte
