One Sec: When Math Puns Are Perfectly Accurate

The perfect mathematical pun doesn't exi— wait, it does! This is peak trigonometry humor right here. The teacher asks how long it takes to simplify 1/cos, and the student immediately thinks "one sec" — which is both a casual way of saying "one second" AND the actual mathematical answer since 1/cos = sec (secant)! It's that rare moment when procrastinating and actually solving the problem yield the same result. Even better, you could technically argue it takes exactly one secant to simplify 1/cos into sec. Math nerds rejoice!
