Ramanujan Memes

When you're desperate enough to believe that the ghost of Ramanujan will solve your math homework! This equation is pure mathematical gibberish—a beautiful nonsensical arrangement of π and e that equals exactly 3. It's the mathematical equivalent of throwing random ingredients into a pot and somehow getting a perfect soufflé. The kind of "proof" that would make your professor either fail you immediately or nominate you for a Fields Medal with no in-between. Next time you're stuck on a problem, just claim a deceased mathematical genius visited your dreams—works 60% of the time, every time!

Ever looked at Ramanujan's famous formula for calculating π and thought "just flip it, dude"? The meme shows the legendary mathematician's insanely complex formula for 1/π, then the "galaxy brain" moment of simply inverting it to get π. What makes this hilarious is that Ramanujan's formula is already a mathematical miracle—converging to 1/π with ridiculous efficiency using those bizarre constants (1103 and 26390). But the bottom panel suggests some random internet mathematician outsmarted him by just... flipping the fraction? The punchline is even better when you notice the summation limits went from n=0 to ∞ in the original to n=∞ to 0 in the "inverted" version—which is mathematically nonsensical. It's like saying "I fixed quantum mechanics by turning my physics textbook upside down!"
