I'm just here trying to figure if this is Loss or not.
I'm bothered the boxes aren't the same size, ruining the joke
Ohhhhh now I get it. Yea that ruins the joke…
I'm not doing the math, but maybe box one is 75% the size of box four?
This comes dangerously close to lost territory.
Three quarters close?
Why did this take you a second?
It only took me 3/4 of a second
I cannot say I know a fourth, simple way of writing 3/4. For this to be funny for me there needs to be one. Help?
Yeah, i get that there are four boxes, but I don't feel the joke is funny without there being four actual possibilities and one is left out.
Three out of the four boxes contain something. That's the fourth way to do it. Nothing is missing.
That can't be it, cause then that's all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.
Damn, good point.
Think of it like Voltron - 3 of the 3/4ths come together to make the ultimate unified 3/4ths!
"three quarters"?
There's a ratio 3:4 or spelling it out "three-quarters" Hope it helps
::: spoiler Click here if you don't understand This graph represents three out of four ways to write ¾. :::
What's the fourth way?
Ratio 3 : 1
L plus ratio
0.75
oh god, whats the second way then?
If I told you, I'd have to kill ¾ of you
that's a lot of horcruxes!
that's one of the options in the cartoon.
Yeah, option number 4 😎
Should have asked about the second way, fool
Pie chart
"Three fourths"
Binary: 0011/0100
Or with reciprocals: (4/3)^-1^
Or 75 basis points
[0; 1, 3]
Tbh I find the deleted answer funnier
Explaining the fourth way by repeating what the comic said
Lol. I agree. I wish it was intentional. I just edited it in to my other comment.
But there are an infinite amount of ways to write that same amount. 6/8, 12/16, etc.
... is... is this loss?
those are the same pictures
It works better for 2/3rds
/⅔/0.66//
⅔ ≠ .66
Yeah, should be 0.(6).
0.(6)
Except there are 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.
Or 4/5
Loss?
