Number 2 Has An Identity Crisis

Number 2 Has An Identity Crisis
The number 2 is having an existential crisis of mathematical identity. It's bragging about being a prime number (it is), then claims to be even (also true). These two properties almost never coexist in mathematics - 2 is literally the only number in existence that's both prime and even. No wonder the tough-guy persona crumbles by the fourth panel. That's the mathematical equivalent of being the only platypus at the mammal convention. Unique? Yes. Confused about where it belongs? Absolutely.

Infinity Has No Favorites

Infinity Has No Favorites
A beautiful visualization of Cantor's counterintuitive infinity proof. The meme shows how the set of integers (Z) and even integers (2Z) have the same cardinality through a bijective function (2x ↦ x). Despite one being a subset of the other, they're equally infinite. It's like discovering your half-empty coffee cup somehow contains exactly as much coffee as your full one. Mathematicians call this "countable infinity," I call it "why I stare at the ceiling at 2AM."

Number 2 asking other even numbers if they can be prime together is mathematical rejection at its finest. Poor 2 doesn't realize it's the only even prime number in existence. Every other even number is divisible by 2, making them composite by definition. That firm "No" from 2 is basically saying, "Sorry buddy, I'm exclusive. It's not you, it's your divisibility properties."

Cursed With Knowledge

Cursed With Knowledge
The internal screaming of every math major when someone makes a fundamentally incorrect statement about numbers! In discrete mathematics, zero is absolutely an even number because it satisfies the definition perfectly: any integer divisible by 2 with no remainder. Since 0 = 2 × 0, it fits the criteria flawlessly. That moment when your basic math knowledge transforms casual conversations into mental torture sessions. You want to correct them, but you'll sound like a pedantic nightmare. The struggle is real for anyone who's ventured beyond arithmetic into the beautiful, maddening world of mathematical rigor!

There Are More Odd Than Even Numbers. Proof By Sorting

There Are More Odd Than Even Numbers. Proof By Sorting
The mathematical "proof" here is gloriously wrong in the most delightful way. Someone's claiming that only 1/3 of numbers are even by... randomly arranging some integers and declaring victory. Meanwhile, actual mathematicians are screaming internally because even and odd integers exist in equal quantities—for every n, there's both 2n and 2n+1. It's like proving the Earth is flat by standing in your backyard with a level. The confidence-to-competence ratio here is off the charts.
