Tanlines Memes

When your beach body prep involves graphing hyperbolas instead of actual sunlight. This is what happens when mathematicians try to get a tan — they draw coordinate systems on their arms and call it a day! The red curves are clearly hyperbolas (y²/a² - x²/b² = 1), which is ironically the exact opposite shape of the sun. Maybe they're hoping the UV rays will follow these curves and create the perfect mathematical gradient? Next summer's hottest accessory: asymptotic tan lines that approach but never quite reach your fingers!
