The eternal struggle of finding complex numbers in the wild! These four brave mathematicians are desperately searching for the complex plane—you know, that mythical realm where i = √(-1) lives. The complex plane exists perpendicular to the real number line, but good luck explaining that to your brain that evolved to hunt mammoths, not imaginary numbers. Each panel shows a different search strategy: map consultation (classic), business casual reconnaissance, binocular surveillance, and the advanced "climb a ladder into the sky" technique. Still can't find it though, because turns out abstract mathematical constructs don't actually exist in physical space. Who knew?!

The person who hates math with a burning passion (7/100 on a test!) accidentally created the perfect mathematical revenge. That horrifying equation they're showing? It's plotting a 3D function that forms... wait for it... a middle finger! Those innocent-looking exponential terms combine to create two distinct peaks with a raised central portion. The mathematical equivalent of "right back at ya!" Turns out math doesn't need to fight back—it just needs someone who claims to hate it to inadvertently code the universal symbol for "go away" in beautiful mathematical precision. Even in revenge, math stays elegant.
