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?
  
  The width being the same, it's about half
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
Click here if you don't understand

This graph represents three out of four ways to write ¾.
- 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
  
  Hmm, could complicate it bit with reciprocols: (4/3)^-1
  
  [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
Loss?
Or 4/5
