      I don’t think this was shared because people are finding it a “challenge” it just looks funny.

      It takes all of a few seconds for your actual mathematical processing to kick in and you go “oh yeah duh” but its just a funky little string of numbers.

      It lives in the same camp as how none of the >3 whole multiples of 17 feel like multiples of 17. 68? Preposterous.

      It’s why my favorite way to troll the usual “why isn’t everyone on metric” goombahs is to tell them they’re just too lazy and/or dumb to do math with fractions.
