The Math Lecturer Starter Pack

The ultimate "brain teaser" that's stumping the internet! Basic arithmetic suggests the answer is 40, but wait—there's a twist! This is actually mocking those clickbait "genius tests" that present elementary math problems as if they're Nobel Prize-worthy challenges. The real genius move? Scrolling past without engaging with this mathematical equivalent of "if you're 25 and born in August, you're a Sagittarius!" Sure, 20+20=40, but the real equation is: Time Spent Solving This Problem - Time You'll Never Get Back = Regret²

The classic Trojan Horse strategy, but make it academic! Physics secretly smuggles in mathematical concepts that students never signed up for. The physics teacher is basically saying "Look at this cool wooden horse I brought you!" while inside, three terrified math equations are waiting to ambush unsuspecting students. No wonder physics has trust issues - it's just applied math wearing a lab coat. The real betrayal isn't the surprise calculus attack; it's realizing that escaping math was never an option in the scientific world.

Someone took the instruction to "add AI to the equation" a bit too literally! Instead of using calculus to find the derivative (F'(x) or "F prime"), they just wrote "+ AI" at the end of their math work. The teacher's -1 circled in green says it all! Classic case of mathematical malicious compliance. Next time they should try adding ChatGPT to solve the derivative instead of just writing "AI" — might actually get partial credit for creativity!

The eternal battle between mathematical rigor and practical physics! While mathematicians have heart attacks over the proper treatment of derivatives, physicists are over there treating differentials like algebraic quantities and somehow getting correct answers. The d/dt notation? Just cancel it like a fraction! Conservation of energy? More like conservation of effort! Physicists have been making mathematicians cry since Newton invented calculus and then immediately used it in ways that wouldn't be formally justified for another 200 years. PURE CHAOS THAT WORKS!

The academic food chain in its natural habitat! This is basically scientific natural selection at work. Mediocre mathematicians who can't handle pure abstraction find refuge in physics where they can hide behind experiments. Physics rejects then migrate to economics where they can make up models that nobody can falsify. And when those economists can't predict anything correctly? They simply retreat to economic history where they can just describe what happened without having to predict a single thing. It's the perfect academic survival strategy - each field is the witness protection program for the previous one!

The eternal mathematical drama unfolds. Number 6 flirtatiously saying "After you..." to 3.1415 (π) is the numerical equivalent of a tragic romance. The caption reveals the aftermath: "A decision Sharon came to regret." Because when 6 goes after π, you get 6π, which equals approximately 18.85—a mathematical point of no return. This is why mathematicians don't date their constants.
