The math joke is hitting critical points here! This meme brilliantly combines calculus and IQ distribution with the vertex formula for quadratic functions. When f'(x) = 0, we've found the maximum or minimum point of a function (the vertex), which happens at x = -b/2a.
The genius part? The bell curve of IQ distribution has its own "vertex" at 100 (average intelligence), while the characters at each end represent different reactions to the same formula. The middle character is having an existential crisis at the peak, while the ones at the extremes are either blissfully unaware or mysteriously confident!
It's basically saying that both the extremely low and high IQ people arrive at the same mathematical conclusion, but for completely different reasons. The average folks are just sweating through calculus homework!
