3! ≠ 3... Or Is It? 🤔

3! ≠ 3... Or Is It? 🤔
The mathematical smackdown we didn't know we needed! In mathematics, 3! (factorial) equals 3×2×1 which is 6, not 3. The gamer's immediate "false" response is mathematically correct, but the final panel shows them making up with flowers—suggesting that sometimes being technically right isn't worth ruining a relationship. Factorial notation is the mathematical equivalent of that friend who always corrects your grammar at parties. Sure, they're right, but nobody's inviting them to the next gathering.

Ever thought our number system was too complicated? Welcome to Base 1, where everything is beautifully simple... and endlessly tedious! 🤣 In normal number systems like Base 10 (what we use daily) or Base 2 (binary), we have different digits. But in Base 1? You only get ONE digit: 1. That's it! So the number 7 becomes "1111111" - literally just counting 1s. And poor π? It's an infinite string of 1s that would take over 1.4 million digits just to start! This is basically the mathematical equivalent of trying to write a novel using only the letter 'A'. Technically possible, practically insane! Mathematicians call this "unary notation" - the most inefficient yet conceptually simple number system possible. And notice how zero is just... nothing? That's actually perfect - in Base 1, zero is represented by an empty string. Mind blown yet? 🤯
