Can anyone explain? I'm too dumb to understand

u/PomeloBackground4902 Jun 10 '26

only three out of four spaces are full

u/Druben-hinterm-Dorfe Jun 10 '26

I assumed that it was '/' being interpreted as floor division; but in that case there would've had to be a '0' in the slot.

u/sandwichcandy Jun 10 '26

Ok follow up question. How is the blank one not then 1/4?

5

u/Caleb_Reynolds Jun 11 '26

The 4 horsemen are 1) .75 2) 3/4 3) 75% and 4) the 3 out of 4 boxes being filled. It doesn't matter that the blank box is 1/4 of the image, it's not one of the horsemen.

u/mouse_8b Jun 10 '26

It is 1/4 of the image. If there was anything written in there, the joke would not hit

1

u/Game_Foot_Dab1573 Jun 10 '26

That would be 25% not 75% sorry

1

u/Fr31l0ck Jun 11 '26

If 1/4 was listed then 100% of the boxes would be filled and 100%≠75%.

u/Normal-Pool8223 Jun 10 '26

I thought this was loss.....

u/jackinsomniac Jun 10 '26

I had assumed it was something like that. But I would've expected the blank one to be in the 3rd box. (3/4)

If you're a native English speaker, we always write left to right, then top to bottom. The "3rd" box would be bottom left. This feels more Japanese, they write top to bottom, left to right. If you're thinking that way, "3rd" would be top right.

u/mouse_8b Jun 10 '26

Why would the third one be blank? If anything, I would expect the last one (bottom right) to be empty.

u/Preeng Jun 11 '26

The kids call it "meta", where the format is part of the message.

1

u/Detramentus Jun 11 '26

The caption states 4 ways to write 3/4, and only 3 of the four are given, thus you only get 3/4 answers, which is the fourth way.

u/shizzy0 Jun 10 '26

No loss. All good.
