The Angle Of Death

The mathematical satisfaction of a factorion is enough to make even Thanos smile. For the uninitiated, a factorion is a number equal to the sum of the factorials of its digits. 40585 = 4! + 0! + 5! + 8! + 5! is one of only four such numbers in base 10. Finding these rare mathematical unicorns brings balance to the numerical universe in a way that would make the Mad Titan proud. Mathematicians spend years hunting these creatures, only to find that perfectly balanced equations are indeed as rare as infinity stones.

The mathematical gods have a twisted sense of humor. March 14 (3.14) celebrates π, the irrational number that keeps circles in check. It's also Einstein's birthday—a genius who warped our understanding of spacetime. Meanwhile, Stephen Hawking chose this cosmic coincidence to exit our universe. The universe's way of saying "conservation of brilliant minds" perhaps? One brilliant physicist enters, another leaves—maintaining perfect mathematical balance while the rest of us are just trying to remember if π starts with 3.14159 or 3.14158.

Behold, the eternal divide between mathematicians and physicists! While mathematicians drown you in partial derivatives and vector-valued functions that would make your grandmother weep, physicists just point at some apples and say "swirly things go swoosh." And yet somehow, both got A's in their classes. This is why physicists can explain quantum mechanics to their dates while mathematicians are still trying to define what a "date" is using set theory. The irony? They're both technically correct—one is just more likely to be invited back to parties.

The classic programmer's journey! Instead of returning 35 (7×5), this calculator outputs "Hello World" – the universal first line of code every developer writes. It's that magical moment when your brain says "do math" but your coding instincts scream "PRINT SOMETHING!" The perfect representation of how even the simplest programming projects inevitably veer off into unexpected territory. Every CS student just felt this in their soul.

Behold! The mathematical abomination that would make Archimedes roll in his ancient grave! 🤓 This equation claims π = pi = -log i, which is technically true in a bizarre mathematical dimension. Since i = e^(iπ/2), taking the logarithm gives us log(i) = iπ/2, and multiplying by -2 gives us π! It's like finding out your calculator has been secretly plotting against you this whole time. Mathematical chaos, I tell you! Pure chaotic brilliance!
