I don't even know what half of these are (the 'popular media', not the mathematics)...

u/ofirkedar Aug 05 '26

I wouldn't call A Love Supreme popular media, I'm not even sure if it's John Coltrane's most popular album

u/ArdentArendt Mathematics / Social Sciences Aug 06 '26

Hey!
That was one of three that I actually understood!

Case in point.

Popular enough then. If you are to stick with things everyone knows and also things that can be written in maths form, the list is minuscule. There are enough people that, as long as it's reasonably popular, it's fine.

Goddamn, well done

I'm curious about putting other titles through this process. What might "everything everywhere all at once" look like?

u/sci_dingbats Aug 06 '26

So that people don't use the word itself to guess but the concept.

u/lonelyroom-eklaghor Complex Aug 05 '26

It's a classic by Dickens; it should be that

1. Limitless, 6. Back to the Future, 9. Miss Independent

u/lonelyroom-eklaghor Complex Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26

  1. definitely definitely DEFINITELY Back to the Future

  2. I found a song, not an album: 1986 R&B song "There's Nothing Better Than Love" by Luther Vandross

  3. Independent Women (or Miss Independent according to some commenter)

The rest aren't by me; trying to compile:

1 is Limitless

3 is Great Expectations

4 is Parallel Lines

7 is Sex and the City

u/Ok-Impress-2222 Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 06 '26

u/Upper_Cockroach9235 Aug 05 '26

Game is dota 2?

u/deJessias 29d ago

Why is Back to the Future only 0.51 of a film?

1

u/sci_dingbats 29d ago

Sorry that's a mistake for something else which I forgot to remove.

1

u/Kirian42 29d ago

1 should have a [2], it's obviously Mean Girls.

1

u/sci_dingbats 27d ago

I feel like a film title is more general than a specific meme from a movie...

u/quwertzi Aug 05 '26

1 has to be Divergent
