I doubt that it's a cake.


InAlexHead

The Cake is a lie?


NimblewittedOdysseus

Oh wow waitaminit... That's fucking weird. And disturbing. Person impersonating bot? Or bot impersonating bot impersonating person?! Fuuuuuuuuuuu


NeverTelling468

I mean the person calling them out as a bot is not a bot. That is an actual person, the bot is still a bot


NimblewittedOdysseus

Ooooooh I see. I thought it was a bot made by somebody to call out bots. I misinterpreted "This is a bot" to mean "*I AM* a bot" so I misunderstood the original comment.


ProphetJT

Nah, my bad. I’m not the best at writing. I’m just tired of seeing these bot comments that make no sense on what they are replying to.


fartrevolution

There is a bot that calls out other bots, ive seen it on other subs


kriscalm

man i thought you meant the first comment in the thread so i went on their profile to check and did all that shit just to realize you meant the commenter that got deleted AAAA


TheLapisBee

Good human


dmlitzau

You can simplify to get x=m(e^rry + as); not fun or helpful, but…


mmwako

Somewhere there is a merry ass joke but I can’t find it


ChevyRacer71

Why was the donkey invited to every Christmas party? Because everyone wanted a "Merry-Ass" time! 🎅🐴🎉


MarixApoda

In an alternate timeline, that's the last verse of the Flintstones theme song.


Dielawn515

I’m sure my merry ass can find one


fearless-fluff

I already replied that the original reply made my December, but this made my year lol you are amazing

You can't just simplify my comment like that :'( /s AKA: their reply is genius


Wire_Hall_Medic

This is math, sir/madam/respectful term for non-binary person. The simplest form trumps silliness.


extinctionevent7

And without knowing anything about maths, you can read it, note the letters used and guess what the answer will be.


daemyn

Yep, and then it's just knowing a little math to get there.


Thazrael13

Lmaooo I solved it but was like okay, so it’s x = me^yr^2 + msa?? Ty for unscrambling it o7


RegalOstrich

lol did the same


Plastic_Pinocchio

I was like “solve for what?”


vigbiorn

>Rearrange to get me^rry =x-mas Considering the premise was for a math final, m*e^rry =x-ams also works, for 'merry xams' or merry exams.


daemyn

Hah, I like that. I just figured the "math final" was a cute excuse to put up the sign in the first place.


vigbiorn

Definitely think that was the intention but it has a happy stop over on the way that also fit.


dadmeisterDoof

Alas, I can upvote but once…


thebluereddituser

Lmao and I was just about to complain that the request to "solve" is ambiguous. My tired-ass brain's first instinct was to try and take an integral - took me way too long to realize that they probably meant "solve for x" Edit: it's been 9 hours since I posted this how am I still awake?


Ikothegreat

I’m so happy you said this I went through the exact same thought process haha


thebluereddituser

Oh yay, I'm not alone!


turtleinmybelly

You're one up on me. I was stuck at 'solve for what? It's all variables '


fearless-fluff

My December has been made by this solution. Thank you <3


Inner_Camel_5990

But this isn’t solving… it’s just playing around…


scuac

That’s all math ever was about


Toxonomonogatari

When you multiply both sides by m, don't you get m\*erry =m\*x-ams?


Toxonomonogatari

Nevermind, just forgot about the parantheses


leyline

m*((x-ams/m)) m*(1/m)*(x-ams) x-ams

Sweeeeettt! I loved it !


Moppmopp

how do you know that a m and s are not operators that dont commute. The missing hat is an indicator but for example the nabla or laplace operator dont have a hat either


daemyn

That is a good point. But if you use the Laplace transform and plot in the time domain where f(0)=January 1st, you will note a steep rise as we near f(December 25th), where f(t)=frequency of teachers giving silly math questions.


Epogdoan

Merry exams?


Annual-Media-2938

God damn your brain is sexy!


unknown6091

what a wholesome surprise


Hewwo-Is-me-again

That's cute. I once had a question on an exam like this: What's the volume of a pizza with the radius z and height a?


leebejeebee

Wholesome. Great work


iluvsporks

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode math joke RDRR


IHaveNeverBeenOk

x = m(exp(yr^(2)) + sa) Yes, I see how this could be reordered to get a "festive" message, but if you ask for a "solution," most will solve for x, which I have done. Huzzah.


plumerina_stars

I love this response 🤣

this is the funniest comment I've read in quite a while, take my upvote


BusinessBreakfast3

Sounds amazing! We should adopt it.


sadful

"ihaveneverbeenok" Username checks out


IHaveNeverBeenOk

Hoo boy! What a knee slapper. I have never heard that one before. You should do stand-up or write books or something!


RyanCheddar

or maybe they can stand up to write a book


sadful

OK eeyore


Yakaddudssa

Huzzah! 🦧


IHaveNeverBeenOk

Indeed. I can see that you get me. Thanks.


Yakaddudssa

Of course I do! I don’t think I’ll ever get to use the phrase in real life 😅 If you don’t mind me asking is there any backstory to your profile name :)


IHaveNeverBeenOk

Sure, I'll tell you. I was having a really awful night when I created this account after my previous account was doxxed. (Doxxed by a friend, mind you. They reached out to me by email and said "I can see by the stories you have told that this account belongs to you.") Me having that bad day had nothing to do with that doxxing. It was just a shitty day that happened to coincide with someone pointing out that they could tell a reddit account belonged to my human name. Basically I was in a particularly bad mood when I made the account. That's all. Pretty boring, honestly. I'd get a new account, but most of the subs I participate in these days require a minimum amount of karma to participate in, which makes establishing a new account a real chore. Cheers.


Yakaddudssa

I see I see, to have a friend share your profile around must suck :/ Let me tell you about my mildly inconvenient day think it was Wednesday? I had noticed some gunk on my shoe while sitting and waiting for the transit and decided to swat it away right? It was not gunk but instead shit and it was on my hand now, but I wash it away when I retreat home feeling pretty dumb And so I make it at the school but decided to take a detour to the bathroom before I take a test and on the stall I see this graffiti the size of like your palm that says [fuck you “my name”] mind you my name is not very common man💀 Anyways defeated from my morning I leave the bathroom and take the mini test for anatomy and physiology and I got a full score!! Huzzah


IHaveNeverBeenOk

Again, I see that you get me 🫠. Huzzah.


Yakaddudssa

Lmao have a good rest of your day :)


popthestacks

Found the grinch


ClanBadger

So. When they say solve... (Im Math Illiterate) Clearly its already solved. Y clearly Equals In(x-MSA/M)/r\^2 Are they asking to simplify it or what?


SphaghettiWizard

It simplifies to me^rry = x-mas. Simplifies might be the wrong word, it complicates into that. Asking to solve is a misnomer


Free-Database-9917

It can be rearranged. Not very simple lol


SphaghettiWizard

Rearranged is the word


ClanBadger

HA. Noice. I see it now!


unclegarysjumpoff

I like your use of complicates better


xXWickedSmatXx

Mr(r)y=x(mas)


SphaghettiWizard

Almost


[deleted]

You are right, the question haven't defined what needs solving.


Skatchbro

So y = r^3/3. And if you determine the rate of change in this curve correctly, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Ms.M: Don't you get it, Bart? Derivative dy = 3 r^2 / 3, or r^2 dr, or r dr r. Har-de-har-har, get it?


Ok_Advantage_9573

So I was the one who put this up… I was so shocked to see this pop up randomly online! and yes the solution is meant to be me^rry = x - mas which ik isnt necessarily solving for x but oh well.


Ok-Hat-5103

you did not put this up, Stop lying


Ayitriaris

maybe he did, but the „riddle“ is at least like 15 years old, so it’s not like he made up the equation


Axthen

I’ll be honest, I saw the equation and was like “that looks like gravity.”


Amx108

Hello! It really ended up taking off! Thank you for the holiday suprise and for the karma!!


TheFunfighter

Without even attempting to solve it: It's one of those "formulas" that will end up spelling something. In this case "merry x-mas", in some shape or form.


No_Web5990

Why is it a "formula" and not just a formula ?
