Took me a second

43 comments

I'm just here trying to figure if this is Loss or not.

I'm bothered the boxes aren't the same size, ruining the joke
- Ohhhhh now I get it. Yea that ruins the joke…
- I'm not doing the math, but maybe box one is 75% the size of box four?

This comes dangerously close to lost territory.
- Three quarters close?

Why did this take you a second?
- It only took me 3/4 of a second

I cannot say I know a fourth, simple way of writing 3/4. For this to be funny for me there needs to be one. Help?
- Clue: How many boxes are there?
  
  Yeah, i get that there are four boxes, but I don't feel the joke is funny without there being four actual possibilities and one is left out.
- There's a ratio 3:4 or spelling it out "three-quarters" Hope it helps

- What's the fourth way?
  
  Ratio 3 : 1
  
  0.75
  
  Pie chart
  
  "Three fourths"
  
  Binary: 0011/0100
  Or with reciprocals: (4/3)^-1
  Or 75 basis points
  
  [0; 1, 3]
- But there are an infinite amount of ways to write that same amount. 6/8, 12/16, etc.

... is... is this loss?

It works better for 2/3rds
/⅔/0.66//
- ⅔ ≠ .66
  
  Yeah, should be 0.(6).
- Except there are 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

those are the same pictures

Or 4/5

Loss?
