So I was looking through my bookmarks and I came across a really good Quora post (a good Quora post, that's crazy) that explains how to solve this. It scares me.
i love this stupid image but it is wildly deepfried and this is COHOST where we can DO BETTER
🍎 🍌 + 🍍 + 🍌 🍎 + 🍍 + 🍍 🍎 + 🍌 = 4...
OK WE CAN'T DO BETTER BECAUSE COHOST STRIPS MATHML
NO PROBLEM CSS GRID CAN DO ANYTHING
or with mutant emoji:
(incidentally, if you don't like following quora links — the joke is that it looks like a viral facebook math problem, but the smallest solution is a set of three 80-digit numbers. so yes, it is quite accurate to say that 95% of people cannot solve this. number theory is buck wild)
I am generally Good at math but this shit is so fucking beyond me. That Quora post is an adventure.
God I saw another one of these on twitter a while back that involved finding very specific pythagorean triplets and it turned out that the solution was only found in the past decade.
Also I hate to say it, but CSS grid apparently cannot QUITE do everything.
Just because 95% of people can't solve it doesn't mean the other 5% can.
correctly asserts that all solutions are contained within the other 5%,
