video game engines are amazing because they can make it so sunlight filters through leaves casting dozens of little rays in your eyes just like in real life and then you turn around and there’s a whole ass horse just swimming in circles in midair
The anonymous user posted this image to prompt a discussion on how little episodes of the 14 episode first season of Haruhi you would have to watch in order to watch them in every possible order, repeats included.
The thread eventually reached a working conclusion by divising a formula that would solve for any “n” length sequence. The thread’s findings were compiled on the mathsci wiki and titled “The Haruhi Problem.”
Last Monday (10/22/18), university mathematician Jay Pantone created a more professional looking assessment of their findings here. This lead to academia learning about 4chan’s unique findings and it’s being widely discussed.
The problem now is about credit. 4chan being an anonymous image board, there’s no one to cite for the findings.
I cannot fucking believe
Necessity truly is the mother of all invention
I can’t believe Haruhi fans made major progress in the field of mathematics before they got season three.
14th century doctors be like “i don’t know what’s wrong with you but you’re a woman so i diagnose you with witchcraft”
19th century doctors be like “i don’t know what’s wrong with you but you’re a woman so i diagnose you with hysteria”
21st century doctors be like “i don’t know what’s wrong with you but you’re a woman so i don’t believe anything is wrong with you and won’t diagnose you”
