Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 29, 2023

What an odd number.

The number 3 is rational. Fire your grade school teacher….

At least you’ll always be a prime number.

wait till he gets the pi

12:4

4/12 for effort!

Be proud 3, you’re a prime number, which is more than can be said for 6.

Mmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn-yaaaaaaaaaa!

Too… early… in… morning… for… math… jokes!

Neither remark is mathematically correct. Too bad the writer didn’t get a second opinion before publishing this panel.

…ummm, If 6 Was 9…

You’’re not irrational, you’re just odd!

And, you’re the start of an important number with infinite decimal places. But only 38 to calculate the circumference of the observable universe to the width of a hydrogen atom

…Leads the way on pi day!

3 aspires to someday be an irrational number in the mathematical sense, while 6 considers that aspiration to be proof that 3 is already irrational in the ordinary sense.

3 just halved to say that …!

Big Deja Vu…

But… 3 CAN be expressed as the ratio of two integers, and ISN’T irrational. (Now, if it had been √3, or π, both would be correct.) Or is that the joke – that they’re being irrational about their rationality?

Oh great, math jokes. Like I wanted to feel stupid today.

“At least you’ll always be a prime number.”

He’s prime, but she doesn’t care. She’s too prim.
