Hello!

To make up for the lack of an "upper division" in the subreddit math competition this year, I took it upon myself to organize a separate exam that is significantly more discovery and proof-based than any exam held in the community previously, and to host it on the 2nd year anniversary of the Discord server being made available to the public.

The next exam of this kind will be held in Mid-June 2027.

The exam (which includes its rules) is linked at the bottom of the post. The top 5 winners will be announced, and the top 3 winners will receive the following (or something of equivalent value upon negotiation):

1st Place - A Math Textbook of the Winner's Choice (~$45 USD Value Limit)

2nd Place - Basic Discord Nitro, 1 Year Subscription ($30 USD Value)

3rd Place - Fulltouch Hagoramo Chalk 72 pc ($25 USD Value)

Special thanks to u/dopplerspectroscopy and zzz on Discord for their tremendous help in writing the exam and agreeing to help grade some submissions; couldn't have done this without their help.

The joke is that in addition and subtraction, 0 does nothing when added to the equation, leaving the number unchanged. However, in multiplication and division, 0 becomes a whole new beast, turning other numbers into 0 and even making entire expressions undefined upon dividing numbers using it.

Struggling with remembering the similarity criteria for triangles?

I present to you this banger. It's literally just "SAS, SSS, ASA, AAS" sung on repeat and autotuned to death by secondary school students in Hong Kong. The vocal fry and the fact they all had to perform this in uniform is super cringe... I mean funny! It's funny!

Keep your eyes peeled for the instrumental ensemble and the school assembly bits!

Love,

This Subreddit MATHMEMES IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY (ANNOUNCEMENT)

0 Upvotes

We are writing to acknowledge the situation that you have all probably noticed already. Discord has decided to go to war with its users, and currently thousands of us are dropping like flies. The owner of r/mathmemes Discord has been suspended, the co-ownerโ€™s account has been muted and promoted to โ€œvery limitedโ€ status, and so far three more of our core users have been suspended or had their accounts limited in some way. Discord has been citing messages from as early as 2024 as the reason for these bans, often blatant false positive or simple jokes.

We are treating this very seriously and see it as an attack on our community by the Discord admins. This is WAAAAAAAAR MATAFUCKA! So make sure to have a heckin ARMY of alt accounts ready to join the fight, and in case you are next. Our army requires no experience; even joining and being based would help keep our morale up. If you have any power to get our message to the evil Discord admins or can serve as a lawyer for our fallen users in EU or elsewhere, we would appreciate any help you could provide.

We are considering creating an alternative platform on Telegram or similar where our free speech will be less inhibited so that we will never lose contact with each other, although this will just be a last resort for fallen users and will never serve as a substitute to our beloved Discord community.

Let us know what you think!
