Exponential decay Memes

Nothing like a cosmic villain with flawed mathematical reasoning to make scientists cringe. If snapping once eliminates half the universe, snapping twice would leave 25% remaining, not 0%. The first snap cuts the population to 50%, then the second snap takes half of that , leaving us with a quarter of the original population. Thanos clearly skipped Statistics 101 while pursuing his genocidal hobby. Even intergalactic tyrants should understand that recursive halving approaches zero but never reaches it—it's an asymptotic function, not complete annihilation. This is why we need better STEM education across the multiverse.

Exponential decay is the superhero of mathematical traps. That $1 multiplied by 0.5 daily would give you roughly $0.000000001 after 30 days. Even Spider-Man's spider-sense can't save you from basic geometric sequences. The $100,000 option isn't just better—it's better by about... *checks notes*... 100 billion times. This is why mathematicians make terrible game show contestants. We overthink the obvious and still get it wrong.
