Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Open excel (or any other spreadsheet app) or - at a push - the calculator app.
Type in 45 * 45. You will get 2025. Then try 44 * 44 and 46 * 46. You don't need a PhD to be able to do that :)
Then you can use the same app to add up 1 - 9 and get 45, which will verify most of the post.
The cube thing is a little more complex, but you should be able to work it out using the multiply and the memory function.
(I checked it before I posted it :))
Better idea: Open Excel, press
ctrl+left, thenctrl+down. Put a dot in that cell, pressctrl+ato select all cells and change the shading color to black. This way you can print 34 million black pages and get fired.I have terrible news for you. There is a whole swath of the population who do not care enough about math to ever get past step 1 (Open Excel.)
True, but if it's any consolation to OP, I'm an accountant. Excel is always open.
Or a basic calculator, apparently.
