Vector Projection Of My Priorities

The classic frog-lily pad-rock scenario strikes again! If you've ever taken a probability course, these three images haunt your dreams. Markov chains describe systems where the next state depends only on the current state (not the past), and textbook authors are OBSESSED with using frogs hopping between lily pads and rocks to explain it. It's like textbook authors had exactly ONE meeting about how to explain probability transitions and unanimously decided: "Green frog. Green pads. Some rocks. DONE." The probability of escaping this example? Approximately zero!

Behold! A mathematical maverick who left π as their tip! Instead of a boring old dollar amount, this numerical ninja wrote the symbol for pi (3.14159...), creating a total of $30 instead of the mathematically precise $29.86. The universe may be built on constants, but this diner's gratuity calculations have a delightful margin of error! Mathematical elegance trumps exact arithmetic when you're living your best irrational life!

Oh sweet infinity tears! This mathematical prank is pure GENIUS! 🤓 The "proof" claims to find the biggest real number by starting with 0.999... (which equals 1), then doing some algebraic gymnastics to create a "bigger" number. But here's the cosmic joke - in mathematics, there IS NO biggest real number! For every real number, you can always add 1 to get a bigger one. It's like claiming you've found the last digit of π! Mathematicians are currently rolling on the floor and clutching their calculators in hysterics. This is the mathematical equivalent of dividing by zero - it breaks the universe, but with STYLE!

The greatest mathematical troll in history strikes again! Pierre de Fermat famously claimed to have a proof for his Last Theorem (that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy a n + b n = c n for any integer n > 2), but wrote in his notes that the margin was too small to contain it. Mathematicians spent 358 YEARS trying to solve it until Andrew Wiles finally did in 1994! And here's "Fermat" polling Twitter about whether to reveal his proof with 17 MILLION votes! The kicker? Even with a 57.5% "yes" vote, that proof is STILL missing! Mathematicians everywhere are having simultaneous heart attacks at this fictional scenario. The margin is STILL too small, apparently! 📝➕➖✖️

The great calculator paradox of academia. Spend 12 years being told calculators are crutches for the weak, then suddenly enter engineering where both students and professors frantically search for them like they're hunting for the last coffee during finals week. The cognitive dissonance is so strong you could measure it with a scientific instrument... if you had a calculator to do the math.

Oh, the mathematical trickery on display! This sneaky proof starts with the correct premise that a=b, but then through a series of seemingly innocent algebraic steps, arrives at the preposterous conclusion that 2=1! The fatal flaw? When we have a=b, then (a-b)=0, and in the step where we divide by (a-b), we're secretly dividing by zero! GASP! That's like trying to split zero cookies among zero friends—mathematically catastrophic but philosophically fascinating! No wonder those cartoon characters look so pleased with themselves. They've just broken mathematics and probably the universe too. If 2=1, I could pay half my bills and be fully caught up! My laboratory budget would suddenly double! *cackles maniacally while scribbling equations*
