Full circle Memes

The beautiful irony of mathematics education in one comic! We start with kindergarteners flexing their numerical muscles writing "infinity plus one!" Then pre-algebra students solving for x (probably getting -2.67). Calculus introduces that delightful sine integral that most students will botch spectacularly. But the punchline? After all that sophisticated progression, PhD cosmology students are just measuring the Hubble constant (still being debated to this day), game theory folks are trying to outsmart their classmates, and then—full circle—postgrads are back to "what's the biggest number?" just like kindergarteners. Twenty years of mathematical education just to end up asking the same question you tackled at age 5. If that's not academia in a nutshell, I don't know what is.

Someone needs to send this guy back to geometry class! A 360-degree difference means you've gone full circle and ended up exactly where you started. It's like saying "I took a completely different route home" but actually just drove around the block and parked in the same spot. The mathematical irony here is delicious. In angular measurement, 360° represents a complete rotation that brings you back to the original position. So technically, he's saying the two are identical! The Prime Minister probably meant "180 degrees different" (completely opposite), but instead accidentally created the perfect mathematical self-own.
