For the sake of this board and everyone in it, I really, really hope you guys were just meme'ing around in the previous thread and I'm just stating the obvious that everyone already knew.
FUCK YOU I JUST DID THIS
Is this the next /int/ meme, reposted from twitter a thousand times by zoomers?
we wuz mathematicianz and shieeet
btw you and me would have failed thisI have Post Traumatic Stress disorder from low IQ and highly political teachers deciding my future
>>196473073PhD means very little nowadays, considering that it has degenerated to doing menial jobs at a university, often on behalf of private industry, writing some low-quality paper, usually in groups of 4 to a hundred, and hoping that it gets published in a journal with low circulation. The PhD thesis itself is just a bigger master's thesis and really, I know of a shit ton of doctorated people who let some undergraduate student write the thesis for them.
>>196473073>I really, really hope you guys were just meme'ing around in the previous threadI hope so too.
>>196473073>>196473091Retard status: detected. Your "squares" are made of discrete triangles. The lines are shaded areas dumbfucks it's a trick question.
>word something in the vaguest way possible>gee why dont thet get itthis question is either intentionally vague or written by someone way up the spectrum
>>196473152that has always been the point of degrees, postdoctoral research
>>196473073To me it sounded like the shaded part needs to be a square too
>>196473564The point of these gotcha questions is for tryhard preppies to fail them so the teacher can smugly explain why it's impossible.
>>19647307350%
>>196473073How is the unshaded part also a square
>>196473796nah thats some stupid double bluff teachers make up to coverup their own retardationi doubt this is real, but if its real whoever wrote that question definitely has autism
>>196473844Almost...Try again.
>>196474625It can work, you just need to do extra math to measure an appropraite amount to shade
Don't listen to this retard >>196473537He thinks drawing a shape inside of another shape makes the outer shape no longer exist.
>>196475324How do you know the diagonal of the inner square is equal to the side length of the outer square? That's the only way to know it's exactly half.
>>196473653>that has always been the point of degrees, postdoctoral researchNo, I'm aware. I'm just disillusioned
>>196473073the question is ill-phrased and from the point of view of a mathematician it doesn't make sensethat's what the Phd implied
>>196476503>the question is ill-phrased and from the point of view of a mathematician it doesn't make senseShe's most definitely not a mathematician.
>>196475556Draw a circle and then a square inside it.
>>196476561>Dr. Catherine Young, DMD is a Dentistry Practitioner in Newark, DE.
>>196473073>female "doctor"And what does she have a PhD in? Emotional intelligence?
>>196478600Then she should refer to herself as a doctor and not a PhD. These are two completely different qualifications. With a medical degree, you can put people on drugs. With a regular PhD, that's not worth half as much.
>>196475324Remember it's 4th grade math. If it's not the fastest and easiest answer then your approach is wrong.
