Well let's break it down:

  • 🍔 + 🍔 + 🍔 = 18
    • 3🍔 = 18
    • 🍔 = 6
  • 🍔 + (🍟 • 🍟) = 5
    • 6 + 🍟^2 = 5
    • 🍟^2 = -1
    • 🍟 = I
  • 🥤^🍟 - 🥤 = 3
    • 🥤^i-1 = 3
    • 🥤 = 3^1/(i-1)

Simple!

    Wait, what happened in the second to last bullet point? You can't convert a power like that when subtracting (you can when dividing).

    It's like you'd convert "2^4 - 2" into "2^(4-1)", which gives two different results (14 vs 8).

    And just like that, I'm back to junior high grumbling about the concept of imaginary numbers.

    Fuck you, y'all made up! 🤣

    Lol I didn't quite get my math right, but it still involves imaginary numbers. Fun fact! Any 3D game you've played in the past probably quarter century doesn't just use 1 dimension of imaginary numbers, but 3 to represent 3D rotation! Quaternions are difficult to visualize since it's a 4-dimensional quantity but they're perfect for representing rotation in 3D space without suffering from gimbal lock like rotation matrices.

    Correction, 99% of European people can’t solve this. For Americans this just a regular breakfast

    Math now supports Unicode variables! The progress we all need.

    Looks like you need a refill.
