What It Feels Like Taking A Math Test At Art School

1 day ago 3.2K views 0 shares

The math test just casually decided that π = 5 instead of the actual 3.14159... and the student is absolutely losing it! In what mathematical universe does π = 5?! This is like telling an artist that red is now blue. The formula for cylinder volume (V = πr²h) would give a wildly incorrect answer with this "creative interpretation" of π. No wonder art school students would be simultaneously confused and amused - they're being tested on math that's fundamentally broken!

Is This An Organic Acid?

The chemistry pun is strong with this one! The van has "H₂ECO" written on it, which looks suspiciously like the formula for formic acid (HCOOH) - the simplest organic acid found in ant venom and stinging nettles. And it's on an eco-friendly solar company van! It's that perfect intersection of renewable energy and organic chemistry that makes science nerds snort-laugh. The company probably meant "H₂ ECO" for hydrogen ecology, but accidentally created a molecule instead. Chemistry teachers everywhere are taking pictures of this van to use in their next pop quiz!

The Incredible Math Problem

The green rage monster is weeping because he can't remember the formula for a triangle's perimeter—which is hilariously simple: just add the three sides together! The commenters are making it worse by suggesting ridiculous formulas like "0.25 x 4 x perimeter" (which is just the perimeter) and "pi multiplied by radius of the triangle" (triangles don't even have radii!). The real tragedy? Even with gamma-irradiated super-brain, basic geometry remains his kryptonite. Guess smashing buildings is easier than passing 3rd grade math!

The Drake Formula Police

The cosmic grammar police have struck again! The top panel shows someone saying "Drake format" (the incorrect term) while looking disapproving, but the bottom panel shows the proper scientific terminology: "Drake formula " with an approving smile. The equation N = R*Fpneflfifc L is the actual Drake equation used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. It's that moment when you're at a party trying to sound smart about aliens, and someone corrects your terminology with the precision of a neurosurgeon handling a supernova. The astronomical equivalent of someone correcting your "there" to "they're" in the comments section of the universe!

Integration By Parts: The Video Game Edition

This is what happens when math escapes the textbook and invades your video games! The meme brilliantly visualizes "integration by parts" (that scary calculus formula uv-∫vdu) as a character breaking through walls in a platformer game. Instead of grinding through equations, our hero is literally breaking the problem into parts! Calculus students everywhere are having flashbacks to those late nights when they had to decide which function was u and which was dv, except this guy just smashes through the obstacles. Honestly, this is the most action-packed explanation of integration I've ever seen - who said math can't be an adventure?

The Generous Physics Teacher

Physics students know the drill! When your teacher puts Newton's Second Law (F = ma) on the formula sheet, it's like getting the most obvious equation ever as a "gift." It's basically like being handed a spoon when you need a full kitchen to cook a five-course meal! That one equation won't save you from calculating projectile motion, conservation of momentum, or work-energy problems. The teacher thinks they're being so generous with this fundamental equation that you've had memorized since day one, while you're sitting there needing way more complex formulas to solve those nightmare exam problems!

The Gamma-Radiated Math Crisis

The Hulk's gamma-radiated brain cells apparently don't retain basic geometry. That moment when you're so angry you can't remember πr² - which is ironic since rage is supposed to make you smarter, not dumber. The real tragedy isn't Banner losing control; it's losing access to middle school math. And they say scientists are supposed to be the smart ones...

Mathematical Dreams And Divine Pi

When your math homies ask where you found that crazy pi formula, but you can't admit you're secretly obsessed with Ramanujan! The left side is all of us mere mortals SCREAMING for citations, while Ramanujan is just chilling on the right like "divine inspiration, bro." This formula actually computes pi with INSANE precision—adding just a few terms gives you MILLIONS of correct digits! And the wildest part? Ramanujan really did claim mathematical insights came to him in dreams from the goddess Namagiri. No textbooks, no Google, just straight-up mathematical revelations while sleeping! Mathematical genius or interdimensional pi whisperer? You decide!

The Volume Of A Sphere

That cosmic smile when you remember the correct formula! The volume of a sphere is actually (4/3)πr³ , not 4r³. The title's formula (4√G/E·r³) looks like someone desperately trying to derive physics equations during an exam while having an existential crisis. Math students everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force—like millions of test papers suddenly cried out in terror and were marked incorrect. Pro tip: memorize these formulas or embrace a future where spheres remain mysterious objects of unknown volume.

Proof By Non Credible Diplomacy

This mathematical abomination is what happens when you skip the "2ab" term in the binomial expansion! The correct formula is (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b², but this rebel just decided to commit mathematical treason by erasing the middle term. It's like diplomatic negotiations where you conveniently "forget" the most contentious issue. Math professors worldwide are clutching their chalk in horror right now. This is the mathematical equivalent of saying "I'll clean the whole house" but only doing the parts people can see.

The Constant Companion

Integration problems got you sweating? Don't worry, the constant of integration has your back. That "+C" is like the mathematical equivalent of "and whatever else you want" - the ultimate academic participation trophy. Professors love it so much they'll add it for you if you forget, just like this helpful cartoon character. Truly the only constant in a calculus student's life is forgetting the constant.

Ramanujan's Pi Formula: Mathematical Flex From India

The formula looks like someone sneezed on their calculator, yet somehow it's mathematically correct. Ramanujan just casually derived this pi formula while other mathematicians were still struggling with basic fractions. The reply asking "name one thing this country gave to the world" with India's flag is the mathematical equivalent of dropping the mic. Like, oh I don't know, just one of the most brilliant mathematical minds who derived complex formulas through intuition while the rest of us need three attempts to calculate a restaurant tip.
