Loss?
... is... is this loss?
Why did this take you a second?
It only took me 3/4 of a second
those are the same pictures
I'm just here trying to figure if this is Loss or not.
It works better for 2/3rds
/⅔/0.66//
Except there are 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.
⅔ ≠ .66
Yeah, should be 0.(6).

This graph represents three out of four ways to write ¾.
But there are an infinite amount of ways to write that same amount. 6/8, 12/16, etc.
What's the fourth way?
Binary: 0011/0100
Or with reciprocals: (4/3)^-1^
Or 75 basis points
[0; 1, 3]
0.75
oh god, whats the second way then?
If I told you, I'd have to kill ¾ of you
that's a lot of horcruxes!
that's one of the options in the cartoon.
Should have asked about the second way, fool
Yeah, option number 4 😎
"Three fourths"
Ratio 3 : 1
L plus ratio

I'm bothered the boxes aren't the same size, ruining the joke
I'm not doing the math, but maybe box one is 75% the size of box four?
Ohhhhh now I get it. Yea that ruins the joke…
I cannot say I know a fourth, simple way of writing 3/4. For this to be funny for me there needs to be one. Help?
There's a ratio 3:4 or spelling it out "three-quarters" Hope it helps
Clue: How many boxes are there?
Yeah, i get that there are four boxes, but I don't feel the joke is funny without there being four actual possibilities and one is left out.
Three out of the four boxes contain something. That's the fourth way to do it. Nothing is missing.
That can't be it, cause then that's all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.
Think of it like Voltron - 3 of the 3/4ths come together to make the ultimate unified 3/4ths!
Damn, good point.
"three quarters"?
This comes dangerously close to lost territory.
Three quarters close?
