Middle Earth Is Flat (And So Is The Plot)

Middle Earth Is Flat (And So Is The Plot)
The eternal plot hole of Lord of the Rings, now "solved" with fluid dynamics equations! Frodo's journey could've been a quick eagle Uber to Mount Doom, but apparently Tolkien needed 1,200 pages instead. The equations are basically saying "the concentration of eagles approaching Mordor equals zero" - mathematically proving why those feathered taxis never showed up. Fantasy writers creating elaborate worlds only to leave gaping logical flaws that any first-year physics student could point out. Next time you're in a 3-hour fantasy movie, just remember there's probably a simple solution being ignored for "dramatic purposes."

But They Were, All Of Them, Deceived, For Another Root Was Made

But They Were, All Of Them, Deceived, For Another Root Was Made
The dark mathematical sorcery at play here is brilliant. This cubic equation appears to have two solutions (the two figures pointing), but then reveals the infinity symbol below—the hidden third root that rules them all. It's a perfect mathematical twist on Tolkien's "One Ring" quote. Those poor mathematicians thought they had it all figured out with their rational solutions, only to discover the equation harbors an irrational number lurking in the shadows. The ultimate mathematical plot twist that would make even Sauron proud of such elegant deception.

Periodically Change Your Passwords

Periodically Change Your Passwords
The numeric password is just a distraction—the real password is spelled out using chemical elements from the periodic table! Those elements (Se-Co-Nd B-Re-Ac-K F-As-Te) spell "SECOND BREAKFAST." This is peak chemistry nerd humor with a side of Tolkien reference—because hobbits and chemists both appreciate the importance of that crucial meal between breakfast and eleventh-ses. Security experts would actually approve of this passphrase's complexity, though writing it on your face might compromise operational security just a tad.
