196
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
those 6 sides look fucked up tho
I don't know if this is referencing Loss or Full House...
:O
Lamenting the loss of Full House? 🤔 You must really like that show.
Loss is the new Rickroll.
Can anyone explain to me why Loss became so popular? I never saw it until I joined Lemmy and I've seen a couple dozen posts based on it.
Google en passant
And all will be revealed.
That's a chess move. Are you stupid? Go back to asulme.
I am almost certain the only reason it ever blew up was because it's a pretty strong comic, alone, but the fact it can be represented by just a few lines such that nearly any 4 images can become a reference to the comic makes it highly memeable.
It also became memeable and noteworthy because it's it's drastically off tone for the comic strip it came from. Generally a light hearted series and then BAM, have something that in context is utterly brutal.
Nowadays it's so divorced from it's context that it's essentially just a meme.
At this point it's an internet inside joke, and like any niche inside joke, there's a bit of a rush when you recognize it, that you're in on something special. In the beginning it was mostly just mocking the absurd sudden tone shift in the original Ctrl+Alt+Del comic but like a lot of memes it seems to have evolved and now the fun is creating and finding the loss pattern in unique and different ways.
I like it, it's fun
It's like a comedy cemetery type of meme
FULL BOAT, THREES! HAH!
This is a full house! You can be proud of yourself! Don't shy away!
Is that fucking loss? I stg...
Ur losst
I'm at Loss of words...
Was it about a haiku?
What is it, papyrus?
MOTHERFU
Can anybody help me understand this? I can't make it be 196 or anything. I'm at a loss.
It's "loss", a sad famous meme comic
I think it's loss?
How though? I'm really not getting it
1, 2, 2, 1 and 1 laying down. Classic loss.jpg
Motherfucker
Thought it was a 196 joke at first and now I'm just irritated.
I’m now committed to getting this to work, but I’m not quite there.
(6^3) - 6 * 3 - 3 = 195 Beyond this, I’m quite lost on how this can be done with simple arithmetic.
If you allow factorials:
6^3 - 6! / (3! * 3!) = 196
Edit: also 66*3 - 3!/3 = 196
Factorials or something more than basic arithmetic (+exponents) is needed as I went ahead and programmatically checked every expression without parenthesis and the closest would always be 195. Interestingly, all values within a difference of 10 were multiples of 3.
A lost cause indeed.
Interestingly, all values within a difference of 10 were multiples of 3.
If it's limited to basic arithmetic (+-*/) and no parenthesis, would there be any answer possible that's not a multiple of 3? My first thought is telling me that common order of operations would make any equation using the numbers in the OP and the restrictions laid out would always amount to a multiple of 3.
That was my initial thought, but you can do add or sub by 2 (6 / 3) to get a non-multiple of 3. I had to double check and see that there were in fact values of i.e. x.5 within I think a difference of 64, can’t remember the exact values or their expressions.
Oh yep, my bad. It's always division that throws me in math expressions that have multiple steps to them.
If we allow combining digits to make larger numbers (like kittehx's edit) we can actually do
(33*6) - (6/3) = 196
How did I not try that? Now I feel dumb lol
(6!/3!)*1.633
There are no words.
