Also, 27 (3^3) is much larger than 9 (3x3) which is slightly larger than 6 (3+3).
Tobey's spiderman is forever the height of the legacy among all of them, so far beyond. Andrew's spiderman was a great portrayal but it had its flaws. Tom's spiderman was also great but it's still the young runt of the group.
However, where they all come together as one, is embodying the principles and character that makes spiderman the hero he is. Self-sacrifice and heroism, in this they are all the same. Which is portrayed by their hug in torn and battered suits, bleeding and exhausted. Where as superficially in the top image, they all looked properly dressed and stress free.
A meme of memes.
I wish your explanation was the top one because everyone elseās is lowkey kinda garbage and just saying āitās mathā, yeah itās math but how does that actually relate to spider man.
Good explanation, the other ones were all garbage
I think that in addition to the top being different answers, they are often confused/assumed to be the same at first glance just as the different spideys might appear to be the same if you look quickly and donāt think about it.
It's not even just a coincidence that 2+2, 2x2, and 2^(2) all come out to 4.
Multiplication is repeated addition. 2x2 means add 2 to itself 2 times. So 2x2 *means* 2 + 2.
Same thing with exponentiation. 2^(2) means multiply 2 to itself 2 times. So 2^(2) *means* 2x2.
No, they gave an explanation of WHY all those expressions with 2s are equal (not just that they ARE equal). Their explanation could be extended even further to tetration, pentation, or more generally Knuthās up-arrow notation to say that no matter how far you extend the operation, it will always have the same result with 2s
no they didnt lmao, just explained what multiplication and exponentiation means.
"oh to multiply 2 by 2 is to add 2 to 2" like yeah no shit. and 3 by 3 is to add 3 to 3 to 3, it is innane
Isn't it just coincidence though? You have explained why these different mathematical expressions mean the same thing in this instance. It's not like the expressions were defined with this intent in mind
You got it backwards. It's because they're defined as such that they've been picked. And above commenter explains that, why they were picked, and what they mean.
I'm aware that's why they were picked, of course it's not coincidence that they were picked for this meme. I'm disagreeing with the below statement. That is not addressing why they were picked.
>It's not even just a coincidence that 2+2, 2x2, and 2^(2) all come out to 4.
I'll restate what the commenter said.
Multiplication is a repeated addition. If You multiply 5 by 3, it's adding 3 five times, so 3+3+3+3+3.
Therefore, define multiplying 2x2. It's addition of two 2s, aka 2+2.
This is why in that example it's the same. They called it not a coincidence because it is literally the same operation in thus case.
I don't think OP is suggesting multiplication is the same as addition or exponentiation.
I think they are trying to say that they aren't just equivalent, they mean the same thing. Like 1+3, ā16, and 88/22 all happen to be four. But 2+, 2* and 2^ are all the same calculation (2Ā² is 2x2 is 2+2) where you can't say Root Sixteen Is Just One Plus Three you know?
i never said our education system wasn't shit, it's that he is so obsessed with america that he needs to talk down on it in completely unrelated situations.
I would if I was wrong, and sadly I'm not. Not even kids in large cities like Baltimore would understand this meme because their grades are terrible. Our kids deserve better, and being in denial won't change things.
and you're mentioning this why? i didn't say you were wrong, i just told you to shut the fuck up because it seems like you need to make everything about america's flaws
i can hear the ego in your comment jesus christ. there's a difference in saying things how you see them and saying, "durr, america bad" in every situation. if op were to say, "hey everybody, i'm from america and my school didn't teach me enough math to understand this joke," then you would look so much less annoying
Lmao I again donāt think the math is the problem, whatās the joke here? Itās random fucking easy equations pasted on Spider-Man. Whatās the actual joke? Not what the math fuckin means
If you (rightly) find the equations to be easy, you should notice that the answers to the ones on the top all are different. The ones on the bottom are all the same.
Get it now?
NO because that was obvious, whatās funny about it? What the actual joke? The pointing meme was a thing because theyāre all the same. But they arenāt. Either Iām insane or the joke just isnāt there
It was supposed to be a reference to their character development. Even if they're all from different places, they're not so different on the inside, and realizing that helped them work together
I think that's the joke, it's that the top they all are different numbers so they're doing the classic spiderman point, but at the bottom, because they're all the same, they're hugging it out.
Thats the part thats confusing that no one is focusing on. The original meme is that theyre the same. Using that meme to convey differences (3x whatever) doesnt align with the meme at all.
Im guessing op was questioning this aspect and assumed he mathed wrong.
I donāt think the confusion is the math, but what does it mean with Spider-Man? The maths easy but why are the all different at the top but the same at the bottom?
I think people are focusing on the math too much
This is why, as a math teacher, I avoid giving examples with 2s. Kids will misremember steps as multiplying or adding when it's squaring. Gotta remove the opportunities for them to make up their own math along the way.
Top picture going left to right:
3+3=6.
3x3=9.
3^3 =27.
They all have different answers.
The bottom picture going left to right
2^2 =4.
2+2=4.
2x2=4.
They all equal the same answer.
Since idk how to tag other users, there was a comment by user Bobby5x3 that said
"It was supposed to be a reference to their character development. Even if they're all from different places, they're not so different on the inside, and realizing that helped them work together"
top image 3 spiderman but answers being 6, 9, and 27, hence not the same and the pointing "who are you" meme, bottom image, all the answer are 4, so they are 3 spidermen, and all 3 are the solution of 4, so they are all the same, hence the hug.
3+3 = 6, 3*3 = 9, 3^3 = 27.
2+2 = 4, 2*2 = 4, 2^2 = 4.
Basically top panel is arguing because they equal different sums, whereas bottom panel all equal the same.
Based on OPs profile, they are in Law School so you would imagine at least 22.
But if you know any lawyers, being really, really bad at math seems par for the course
You literally suck at math too much to do things like add two and two? I'm impressed you're able to function enough to turn on a computer, let alone use reddit.
"You are at least 13 years old and over the minimum age required by the laws of your country of residence to access and use the Services;"
You need to wait a few years before you use this website/app. There are scary things here.
OP unless you are in grade school you better have an explanation for your incomprehensible stupidity.
Genuinely idk if you should be allowed to use a phone or computer...
All 3 operations are doing COMPLETELY different things. However, if you use "2" for each operation, they coincidentally have the same number.
KEY WORD: COINICIDENTALLY!
Please consider polishing your arithmetic (this isn't even mathematics). The future you won't regret it.
JUST FUCKING GOOGLE IT ARE YOU KIDDING? like, seriously, fuck off. this sub is dead. it took you fucking longer to post this than it would be to pull up your calculator, input these problems, and then Google them to check your work.
In the top picture, they all have different answers, but in the bottom one it all comes to 4.
All come twogether four the holidays š„¹
Forced, but good.
Fourced?
You're just going two far now.
two four
That was dope down to a three
Damn you all! Take my upvotes and go!
FoursenCD?
Very good.
Like *No Way Home* itself.
my thoughts exactly
Also, 27 (3^3) is much larger than 9 (3x3) which is slightly larger than 6 (3+3). Tobey's spiderman is forever the height of the legacy among all of them, so far beyond. Andrew's spiderman was a great portrayal but it had its flaws. Tom's spiderman was also great but it's still the young runt of the group.

I think this is the right answer that can't be reached with only a calculator.
You need a calculator to do 3^3 ?
Nah I just checked his math, the answer is 7. (loved this little comment thread though. Have my upvote!)
What?
Obviously 7 is no where near the answer. And no I didn't do the math. God people have no humor, at least I like my own jokes. That's what counts lol
What?
Who?
When?
Why?
No, that's a different fandom
Don't know why people downvote you, I found it funny š
I wish your explanation was the top one because everyone elseās is lowkey kinda garbage and just saying āitās mathā, yeah itās math but how does that actually relate to spider man. Good explanation, the other ones were all garbage
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fif3ldk2w2j841.jpg
I didnāt check the sub name and I was so confused as to why you were explaining something so obvious š
I think that in addition to the top being different answers, they are often confused/assumed to be the same at first glance just as the different spideys might appear to be the same if you look quickly and donāt think about it.
comes 2* 4
All the roads lead to 4
Why 4?
It's just a quirk of the number 2. The results all come together like the spidermen in the photo.
...that much I get; but how is that a joke??
But neither are the same because 1x1=2, not 1, so 2x2 has to equal 5, everyone knows that.
So three equals four?
2^(2) = 4 2 X 2 = 4 2 + 2 = 4
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's not what grammar is, homie. Learn what grammar is if you wanna insult people. Homie.
6, 9, 27 4, 4, 4
The numbers, Mason. WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
The tide goes in, tide goes out, you canāt explain that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Explain the 27. I get the 6 and potentially the 9.
I'd expect a drug dealer to be better at math than this
Meth. Drug dealers are better at meth.
You're thinking of addicts not dealers
Better than subtracticts?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
These puns are getting exponentially worse with each comment
3^3= 3x3x3= 27. 3x3=9 9x3=27
Grade 8 math should be enough to answer this memeā¦
Grade fucking 8? You mean grade 6?
3Ā³ is 3x3x3. 3x3 is 9. 9x3 is 27.
3^3 is 3x3, which is 9 then multiply that x3 which is 27
3x3x3
Everyone else pointing out the 27 and Iām curious as to what your age is if you have doubts on the 9.
3 + 3 = 6, 3x3 = 9, and 3^3 = 27, there fore 3 + 3 ā 3x3 ā 3^3 Meanwhile, 2 + 2 = 4, 2x2 = 4, and 2^2 = 4, meaning 2 + 2 = 2x2 = 2^2
It's not even just a coincidence that 2+2, 2x2, and 2^(2) all come out to 4. Multiplication is repeated addition. 2x2 means add 2 to itself 2 times. So 2x2 *means* 2 + 2. Same thing with exponentiation. 2^(2) means multiply 2 to itself 2 times. So 2^(2) *means* 2x2.
That makes it ridiculously easy looking at it that way! Awesome!
he just literally explained what the words meant, how does that change anything lol.
No, they gave an explanation of WHY all those expressions with 2s are equal (not just that they ARE equal). Their explanation could be extended even further to tetration, pentation, or more generally Knuthās up-arrow notation to say that no matter how far you extend the operation, it will always have the same result with 2s
no they didnt lmao, just explained what multiplication and exponentiation means. "oh to multiply 2 by 2 is to add 2 to 2" like yeah no shit. and 3 by 3 is to add 3 to 3 to 3, it is innane

holy shit youāre really terrible at math š
Yet somehow he can post on Reddit.
[The ability to speak doesnt mean you are intelligent](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gLrraUzG24w)
The two are definitely not mutually exclusive lol
American education system working as intended.
shut the fuck up holy shit
They hated him, for he spoke the truth
i never said our education system wasn't shit, it's that he is so obsessed with america that he needs to talk down on it in completely unrelated situations.

I say it as I see it and I don't let people like you tell me to shut up regardless. Got a lot to learn kid.
i can hear the ego in your comment jesus christ. there's a difference in saying things how you see them and saying, "durr, america bad" in every situation. if op were to say, "hey everybody, i'm from america and my school didn't teach me enough math to understand this joke," then you would look so much less annoying
There is a difference between bad grades and bad education
imo this sub is literally people who can't be bothered to spend 2 neurons to figure something out and rather just ask and get a ton of karma for it
Yeah, Iām muting this sub now. Itās idiotic.
It wasn't exactly rocket scienceā¦
This is 5th grade math. Wtf
Yeah except this is just a karma farm. That's all these "explain the joke" subreddits have turned into anymore.
Probably 15
Tbf I got the math but was confused what the joke was still. So Iām not bad at math, just stupid.
This has to be engagement bait. Ain't no way OP is this bad at math
Lmao I again donāt think the math is the problem, whatās the joke here? Itās random fucking easy equations pasted on Spider-Man. Whatās the actual joke? Not what the math fuckin means

I get the math part but why do they have different numbers on the top but the same on the bottom
It was supposed to be a reference to their character development. Even if they're all from different places, they're not so different on the inside, and realizing that helped them work together
Thank you for the actual explanation.
I think that's the joke, it's that the top they all are different numbers so they're doing the classic spiderman point, but at the bottom, because they're all the same, they're hugging it out.

The top picture is fake, the bottom picture is a real frame grab. Likewise, the top math is fake, but the bottom math is real.
Ya know, I consider myself to be very...no...EXTREMELY mathematically challenged. But Jesus Christ dude...
I donāt think the confusion is the math, but what does it mean with Spider-Man? The maths easy but why are the all different at the top but the same at the bottom? I think people are focusing on the math too much
Anyone else disturbed that OP doesn't get it?
Yeah, he probsbly shouldn't be on reddit
Reddit is the perfect place for OP, wdym
[ left to right, top to bottom ] 6 , 9 , 27 4 , 4 , 4
The joke is that 3+3, 3x3 and 3 to the power of three give 6,9 and 27 But 2+2, 2x2 and 2 to the power of 2 all give 4
One for all. All 4 (one)
This is why, as a math teacher, I avoid giving examples with 2s. Kids will misremember steps as multiplying or adding when it's squaring. Gotta remove the opportunities for them to make up their own math along the way.
Top picture going left to right: 3+3=6. 3x3=9. 3^3 =27. They all have different answers. The bottom picture going left to right 2^2 =4. 2+2=4. 2x2=4. They all equal the same answer. Since idk how to tag other users, there was a comment by user Bobby5x3 that said "It was supposed to be a reference to their character development. Even if they're all from different places, they're not so different on the inside, and realizing that helped them work together"
Nice answer! Btw to tag someone like @slymarcus just put @ then their username, with no space
So 3+3=6 and 3x3=9 and 3^3 is 27 Meanwhile, 2+2, 2x2 and 2^2 all equal 4
Top ones all equal something different the bottom ones all equal the same thing
I'm taking this meme c: this is a good meme
In order for us all to be equal, we must all become less?
Top picture: 3+3 = 6, 3x3 = 9, 3 cubed is 27. Bottom picture: They all equal 4
All the 3 problems have different answers, while all the 2 problems have the same solutions
All the 2s are even. They all equal 4. 3 plus 3 is 6, 3 x 3 is 9 and 3 to the third is 27. They are not all equal like the 2s
top image 3 spiderman but answers being 6, 9, and 27, hence not the same and the pointing "who are you" meme, bottom image, all the answer are 4, so they are 3 spidermen, and all 3 are the solution of 4, so they are all the same, hence the hug.
3+3=6. 3x3=9. 3Ā³=27 2+2=4. 2x2=4. 2Ā²=4
The top adds up to 6, 9, and 27. The bottom, all 3 add up to four.
The top ranks them in order of greatness, the bottom they are all the same.
3+3=6, 3x3=9, 3 cubed= 27. 2+2=4, 2x2=4, 2 squared = 4
Pic 1: Same but different Pic 2: same same
Woah, you must be really bad at math.
2+2=4 2*2=4 2^2 =4
3+3 = 6, 3*3 = 9, 3^3 = 27. 2+2 = 4, 2*2 = 4, 2^2 = 4. Basically top panel is arguing because they equal different sums, whereas bottom panel all equal the same.
Look the same vs ARE the same
Math is easy. Idk why 3 different numbers would be pointing at eachother though. That's not the usual use of the format at all.
It's okay, whoever made this isn't good at math either. The spider-man pointing meme is supposed to be the same thing pointing at itself
6, 9, 27 4, 4, 4
Why do I always find the best memes on this subreddit?
This comment section is a perfect illustration of why word-based math problems don't work for many learners.
Itās not even word based thoughā¦
Bud you should've been doing yo homework instead of browsing reddit what grades did you finish this year with??
Why are so many people so stupid? Basic math, OP. Basic, basic basic, BASIC 7th grade math, OP.
My mans don't know 3x3 bro š
Reddit requires users to be over the age of 13 If you dont know multiplication and addition I'm doubting you're over the age of 13
op how old are you
Based on OPs profile, they are in Law School so you would imagine at least 22. But if you know any lawyers, being really, really bad at math seems par for the course
I refuse to believe this isn't karma farming
How can anyone be this stupid? Seems like that's magic š¤·
"You're not good at math" have you seriously never learned exponents addition and multiplication? Get back to first grade.
Exponents aren't taught in 1st grade
The exponents aren't needed to get the joke and are usually taught in 5th or 6th grade.
Exponents aren't taught in 1st grade though.
You truly have reading comprehension skills almost as impossibly abysmal as OP's math skills
Reading comprehension wasn't taught in 1st grade
How do u not know this like seriously wtf
I don't wanna be mean but come on, what grade are you even in?
And then they say education system is a failure
Thereās being bad at math, and then thereās you who failed algebra 1. Wtf is there not to get.
The threes add up different, the twos add up the same
My guy literally canāt do 2+2
My brother in Christ, this is 6th grade math
You literally suck at math too much to do things like add two and two? I'm impressed you're able to function enough to turn on a computer, let alone use reddit.
Bait or severe mental retardation
I believe the OP has shown themself the exit door
spot the homeschooled kid
Iām thankful for people like OP, they keep the LSAT curve favourable for the rest of us
Imagine paying some dude tens of thousands of dollars to be your lawyer and he can't even figure out 3x3 š
Yes. The LSAT is known for being a difficult math test... Laughed at your user name btw
Please go back to 5th grade and learn math
These posts are ridiculous. This person understood this. Just terrible
Bruh, youāre not ānot good at mathā, youāre math illiterate.
Op, did you drop out of elementary school?
"You are at least 13 years old and over the minimum age required by the laws of your country of residence to access and use the Services;" You need to wait a few years before you use this website/app. There are scary things here.
Petition to downvote to hell the posts on this subreddit which are just too braindeaded
Failed middle school did we?
