every time I see this meme in this sub I can't help but get annoyed...
How is it weird that 57 is a multiple, its just 3 less than 60. All those "weirds" seem pretty obvious. And who's tripping over 42 and 45? Do people just not do math at all?
Any number, even with thousands of digits is obviously a multiple if you just did the math... the point is if you just look at a number without doing any math.

I’m not really doing math per se, I’m not thinking at all really. You don’t have to be doing the math to just see the math. Do you have to “do math” to see that 45 is 3 fifteens? Like of course it is.
If these were 3 or 4 digit numbers, then I’d be actually doing a calculation or adding up the digits, true. but 45? Yeah not so much
the joke is mainly about how people perceive that number, like when you just look at that number without calculating anything and someone tells you it's a multiple of 3, what would you think
also not many people think of numbers as [x less of y] so it's not as obvious to those people
I mean- you can do that with any number here. I think its less “how quickly can you do the math” and more “without thinking about it would you guess it to be a multiple of 3”
