    I’m just here trying to figure if this is Loss or not.

    Why did this take you a second?

      It only took me 3/4 of a second

    I cannot say I know a fourth, simple way of writing 3/4. For this to be funny for me there needs to be one. Help?

        Yeah, i get that there are four boxes, but I don’t feel the joke is funny without there being four actual possibilities and one is left out.

          Three out of the four boxes contain something. That’s the fourth way to do it. Nothing is missing.

            That can’t be it, cause then that’s all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

              Think of it like Voltron - 3 of the 3/4ths come together to make the ultimate unified 3/4ths!

      There’s a ratio 3:4 or spelling it out “three-quarters” Hope it helps

        Binary: 0011/0100

        Or with reciprocals: (4/3)-1

        Or 75 basis points

      But there are an infinite amount of ways to write that same amount. 6/8, 12/16, etc.
