The mathematical trickery here is absolutely diabolical! Someone took a complex expression with irrational numbers (π, e, and √3) and manipulated it to get exactly 2. Then they did some algebraic gymnastics to convert the same value into a fraction (723686/361811).

It's like finding out your chaotic friend who never returns anything actually has a meticulous spreadsheet tracking everything they've borrowed. The joke plays on how mathematicians get unreasonably excited about finding rational representations of seemingly complex values - as if a new rational number was just "dropped" like the latest album or sneaker release.

The punchline? That fraction equals 2.0001768... which isn't exactly 2! Math nerds everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force.
