The answer is 178,910,723.64382

Don't ask me why I calculated that

[–] LogarithmicCamel@feddit.uk 86 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't accept your answer. I know deep in my heart that it's 4.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago

I got the same thing on my phone's calculator. Do you think the waterproofing will get in the way when I give it the baptism it clearly needs?

[–] themusicman@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's so ugly, it can't be correct... 4 is much nicer

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Glad you did though, only opened the comments to see what the actual answer was.

[–] MightyWeaksauce@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Ya beat me by seconds. Lemmy is truly blooming lol

[–] PR3CiSiON@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

I got 178,910,723.30891

My answer is superior.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Well, 4 wasn't that far off, considering.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's a 4 in the more accurate answer. That is proof of the divine showing the truth before man could understand the full answer.

[–] Bayz0r@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

This guy apologetics.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was only a couple orders of magnitude off.

[–] kewko@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

2 is a couple, 9 is more like fewish

[–] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

2 is a couple.

What's a few, several, a bunch, a bit, many, a bundle?

Do we really want to live in a world where this fraction is the answer? I would like my kids to grow up knowing it's an integer

I saw three different serious-looking answers, so I punched it into a spreadsheet to get my own answer. What I got matches your answer, but with an extra 2 at the end.

Round down for simplicity. Yes, yes, I can see 4 being the easy answer.

[–] NeatNit@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago

I have a guy feeling that one of these days Zach will make the old URL format not work anymore. So here's the same comic in the new format (found by going to the next comic, then the previous) https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2013-10-31

this changes nothing and I have nothing to add, have a nice day

[–] elrik@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The product ends in a 5 so it is odd and cannot be divisible by 4.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

[–] chocolateo@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They'd then go to war

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Those damn people worshipping their rabbit god when we know for a fact the duck god is the true god! Now they refuse to believe the answer is 4.

This means war!

[–] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub 20 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Pretty sure it's 4

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

That other number is long and complicated and scary. I looked into my heart and found that 4 was the answer that spoke to me the loudest.

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 5 points 10 months ago

"it is 4" -- Me 1:1

This checks. I estimated it to under 1/5 billion.

To the OP, some periods or commas would have been nice.

To the 4ists, Yeah. Well, ya know, that's just, like, your opinion man.

I would have said "42" and walked away

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago

Pretty sure his theory is a hypothesis.

[–] notthebees@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's not that far off. Math philosophy gets nuts

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

I remember back in the day when we were all up in arms about sets
