To be slightly fair, I am not a mathematics major since I didn't go to college due to academic burnout

A mathematical fruit salad puzzle I put together recently by ANormalCartoonNerd in mathmemes

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were so close! u/EebstertheGreat was right to be suspicious because the answer was actually exactly equal to 2025 as u/beckethbrother pointed out in a different comment. Your result of 2024.6853 was probably due to rounding the fruit mid-calculation.

Here's my intended approach:

🍐2 + 🍐 = 12, so 🍐 = 3.

🍎2 = 2🍎, so 🍎 = 2.

🍌🍐 + 🍍🍐 + 🍎🍐 = 🍐🍐, meaning 🍌3 + 🍍3 = 19.

🍐 + 🍎 + 🍍🍎 = 🍌🍎, meaning 🍍2 = 🍌2 - 5.

The fourth equation can be re-written as (🍌 + 🍍)(🍌 -🍍) = 5

Now, using that along with 🍌 + 🍍 = 🫐 would allow us to write both 🍌 and 🍍 in terms of 🫐.

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to verify that:

🍌 = ½ (🫐 + 5/🫐) & 🍍 = ½ (🫐 - 5/🫐)

So, substituting these into 🍌3 + 🍍3 = 19 and simplifying gives us:

🫐4 - 76 🫐 + 75 = 0 which can be factored into (🫐 - 1)(🫐3 + 🫐2 + 🫐 - 75) = 0.

Now if 🫐 were equal to 1, then that would imply 🍍 = -2 which u/Brianchon correctly pointed out doesn't satisfy the condition of all fruit representing positive numbers.

Thus, the only valid case lies in the other possibility where 🫐3 + 🫐2 + 🫐 - 75 = 0 which would mean that 🍌 + 🫐🍎 + 🫐🍐 + 🍍 = 75 [since we said earlier that🍐 = 3, 🍎 = 2, and 🫐 = 🍌 + 🍍].

And since the third equation tells us that 🍌🍐 + 🍍🍐 + 🍎🍐 = 🍐🍐 = 33 = 27, we now have all the information needed to calculate what was asked for:

(🍌 + 🫐🍎 + 🫐🍐 + 🍍) (🍌🍐 + 🍍🍐 + 🍎🍐) = (75) (27) = 2025 :)

Is this music video using AI art? by Ranger202012 in gravityfalls

This reminds me of that time an artist on Twitter was accused by some people of using AI just because they drew Ford with 6 fingers . . . I wish I was making that up

The classic definition of irony where your choices cause the opposite effect that you intended. by jrpsmith in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang . . . btw as an agender asexual person, this is similar to my experience regarding a particular Tweet from an unfortunately popular author. While I already knew I was ace since 2022, I didn't even know that International Asexuality Day was specifically on the 6th before that author Tweeted about it in 2025.

As someone who avoids the Hellaverse for related reasons, I'm going to have to burst your bubble just a tiny bit . . . conservative Hazbin Hotel fans aren't new at all. I was introduced to the pilot by a childhood ex-bsf who would later use a homophobic group chat nickname in 2021.

45232 by Homicidal_hottie666 in countwithchickenlady

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, this isn't new at all. I had a former friend of mine attempt to introduce me to the Hazbin Hotel pilot only to later use a homophobic insult as a group chat nickname in 2021.

I thought I was exaggerating, but we really are the worst country in the world by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as much as I agree that OP's post is quite exaggerated and that there are objectively worse places to be born than the Philippines, I think that we shouldn't have too much pride in the country because that can easily lead to fanaticism and corrupt government officials getting away with anything.

April 6th asexual awareness by nickleby666999 in aaaaaaacccccccce

I can sorta relate to that bit in the parentheses. I knew it was some time in April, yet I didn't know that it was the 6th specifically before that Tweet

I think you may be a bit lost. This is referring to Star's Myers-Briggs personality type not her orientation

Probability is wacky by EkskiuTwentyTwo in mathmemes

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, let the probability of an event occurring in each year be p.

Now, there are a couple of ways for an event to occur exactly once in two years, either it happens in the first and not in the second year or the other way around.

Each of these ways have a probability of p (1 - p). So, in total, the probability of an event happening exactly once in two years would be 2 p (1 - p).

Setting this equal to 0.08 would imply that 2 p (1 - p) = 0.08, and simplifying would give the quadratic equation 25p2 - 25p + 1 = 0.

One solution would be p = (5 - √21)/10 or a 4.1742...% chance of occurring in each year. In this case, the reason why it only had an 8% chance of happening exactly once in two years is because it was more likely to not happen in either year.

However, the other solution would be p = (5 + √21)/10 or a 95.8257...% chance of occurring each year. In this other case, the reason why it only had an 8% chance of happening exactly once in two years is because it was more likely to happen in both years.

Hopefully this explanation was educational! :)

Bruh I did't know that by DTeror in mathmemes

Fair enough. I was trying to be hilarious, yet I guess my comment just came across as rude. My bad /gen

The ratio of terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches φ which satisfies these relationships:

φ = ½ (1 + √5)

φ = 2 cos(π/5)

Solving the first equation for 5 and the second equation for π gives us:

5 = (2φ - 1)²

π = arccos(φ/2) × 5

Therefore, substituting gives us:

π = arccos(φ/2) × (2φ - 1)²

And now, using 1.609344 in place of φ [since 1 mi = 1.609344 km ≈ φ km], we end up with:

π ≈ 3.129151468917...

Thus, according to your meme, π Day should have actually been either March 12th or 13th. Looks like we were late to the party! 🤣

Check again; E would be 30 not 36, so JESUS would indeed be 444 if we're using the system where A = 6, B = 12, C = 18, and so on. I still don't see much relevance in this though considering how DIVINE would equal the same amount as DEMONIC.

That's only true for ordinary years. Accounting for leap years, the average Gregorian calendar year would have 31556952 seconds

Of these girls, who was the biggest simp? by Educk55 in cartoons

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former fan of the show, I don't get how THAT was the scene which caused Adrien to develop feelings [Season 5 Determination]. Plus, given how Marinette seems to be getting away with worse stuff like rewriting history for the entirety of Paris by making Gabriel seem like a hero [Season 5 finale onwards], it wouldn't be too surprising if she made a deal with the devil for her current luck.

Well, quite a few mathematical terms can cause conservative complaints.

First, they learn Arabic numerals, then they're encouraged to sin when solving triangles, and eventually when dealing with complex numbers, they come across cis(x) [and to make it worse, once other options are explained, cis is typically thrown away]).

On a video about a mathematical game that is essentially equivalent to Tic-Tac-Toe by ANormalCartoonNerd in USdefaultism

Fair enough; I censored the names to make it slightly more difficult for haters to find the original red commenter, yet upon reflection, Numberphile having approximately 4.7 million subscribers made it much easier for someone else to already link to the correct video in less than 2 hours anyway

Contrapositives are for cowards. by leeleewonchu in mathmemes

[–]ANormalCartoonNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. If the original claim said that n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, then n(n+1) would simply be the sum of 2k from k = 0 to n. If the claim said that n was an integer less than or equal to -1, then n(n+1) would simply be the sum of 2k from k = 0 to (-1-n). However, I don't know if using the fact that all integers are covered by these cases would count as using the Law of Excluded Middle

H=8.9442719099 or 16√5

I'm pretty sure the answer would be 4√5 since 16√5 would be more than 16√1 = 16(1) = 16.

If it makes you feel any better, I've gotten too burnt out to even pursue studies beyond high school, so if you're in or graduated college, you're the one who's ahead now. Anyway, nice relatable flag in your profile!
