Three Squared Meals A Day

math-humor-memes, puns-memes, numbers-memes, wordplay-memes, arithmetic-memes | ScienceHumor.io

This math joke is serving up some serious numerical nutrition! The punchline works on a brilliant double meaning - "3 squared" equals 9, but it's also cleverly twisted into "3 square meals" (a common phrase for eating properly throughout the day). So when 7 ate 9, he was just following doctor's orders! The commenter calling it "advanced" is spot on - this joke operates on multiple mathematical levels while still being deliciously punny. It's the perfect equation of math humor: simple enough to understand but complex enough to make you feel smart for getting it! 🧮🍽️

The Handwriting Deterioration Theorem

The handwriting evolution of "xyz" shows what happens when you've been writing equations for 8 straight hours. Started with perfect variables, ended with hieroglyphics that somehow got marked correct. The fourth line is basically abstract algebra at this point—yet the grader gave it a checkmark! This is the universal language of "I know what I meant" that professors miraculously understand. The mathematical equivalent of your signature degrading on multiple credit card receipts during a shopping spree.

The Elegant Solution In Hindsight

The eternal struggle of mathematical elegance! That moment when you realize your painstakingly crafted 3-page proof could've been condensed to just 5 lines hits harder than a rejected grant application. Every mathematician knows the pain of the "obvious in hindsight" solution. Fermat wasn't kidding with his "margin too small" excuse—he probably just saved himself from writing 20 pages of unnecessary steps. Next time, maybe start with the elegant solution? (Who am I kidding, nobody ever does.)

Absolutely Hilarious Math Pun

The mathematical wordplay here is absolutely brilliant! When someone says their favorite number is -9, but their absolute favorite is 9, they're cleverly referencing the absolute value function in mathematics. In math, the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of direction. So |−9| = 9. The commenter turned a shower thought about negative numbers into a perfect mathematical pun that would make even the sternest calculus professor crack a smile.

The Engineering Side Of The Force

The true dark side of the Force isn't shooting lightning—it's making mathematicians cry themselves to sleep. Engineers have long wielded the blasphemous power of approximation, where sin(x) ≈ x for small angles and π = 3 "close enough." Pure mathematicians would rather die than commit such heresy, but engineers build bridges while mathematicians prove they can't cross them. The ultimate power move isn't conquering galaxies—it's getting your approximation to work anyway.

The Mathematical Sleight Of Hand

The mathematical equivalent of sweeping dirt under the rug! Every math student has experienced that moment of existential dread when the professor skips 17 critical steps with "it is clear that" — leaving you questioning your entire academic career. Those four words are basically mathematical sleight of hand, concealing what's probably a 3-page proof that nobody wants to write on the board. The real unsolved problem? Finding the courage to raise your hand and admit nothing is clear to you whatsoever.

First Sighting Of Humor On Stack Exchange

The rarest phenomenon in the mathematical universe - humor on Stack Exchange! This meme captures that magical moment when someone dared to crack a joke on the notoriously serious Q&A site. The commenter's quip about needing "countably many hints" is a brilliant mathematical pun that's both nerdy and sassy. It's like finding a unicorn doing calculus! Mathematicians typically approach problems with the emotional range of a calculator, so when one reveals a personality... it's practically a mathematical singularity! 🧮✨
