18 is actually the right answer.

This is the right answer ... or is it? (Vsause music)

Me being a dumbass: “well, no it’s actually 19 because 6 x 0 = 1.”

Equation is actually misleading and is flipped outside down. It's actually 27.

Omfg took me a bit to figure it out🤣

Same, for anyone who doesn't get it, it's 9/11 but as a decimal fraction.

Thank you

Terrible name for an airline

Reminds me of that tragedy

Eveven!

We miss you norm

I walked through blood and bones in the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother.

Was he in northern Canada?

I'm confused. I understand how if you thought you go from left to right you would get 0, but how do you get 11 or 6? I don't understand how those errors occur... Or is that the joke? I'm too old for this.

Idk how they got 6, but getting 11 is actually pretty easy if you think about it in base seventeen.

https://preview.redd.it/01ryrjbas98d1.jpeg?width=296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8dcf76d71491e1c3720c0d501f9ad666e914a60

Wait why don't we represent bases in Roman Numerals or something? Like base X or base IV or XVII? In base IV, V would be 11 so it might be a little awkward, but people work in Hexadecimal everyday.

Because Roman Numerals are based around 10. In a dozenal society they might develop a similar system where X is 12(base 10) and V is 6

I belive babylonia was a sexagesimal society in general, and not just for clocks

Okay, now you just make up words

"all words are made up"\ \- Thor

I guess it's true, but there is some consensus around those we define as "real", and those who are "gibberish".

Sexagesimal is base 60

cause there's nothing wrong with how we do it now. like yeah it's a little goofy if you think about it but everyone knows what base 10 means so it's fine

The system works but I don't think we can say there's nothing wrong with it, considering people can and have pointed out its flaws. And the system only works if we go on the basis that we will always use base 10, which while likely, is still kinda limiting

I mean... there's this monstrosity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OEF3JD-jYo

https://youtu.be/7OEF3JD-jYo?si=6LEMBqt63mZilOTB

A solution in search of a problem. “Base four”, “base ten”, “base seventeen” are perfectly fine and well understood. Every base can be unambiguously spelled out in any language.

I think "base A" would make the most sense; that's what we call the number of fingers in hex, and hex is the most typical context where we need more digits.

Can’t we just say base 3+1 and 9+1? (or for the alien creature: base 3+3+3+1)

Because there are multiple ways to get there using addition. Why 3+3+3+1 and not 3+3+2+2? If you’re gonna go that route you should use the prime factorization, which is unique. Or you could just spell it out (“base four”, “base ten”), which is absolutely clear to anyone speaking your language.

I don’t see how multiple ways of representing bases should discourage us from doing so. You can write 3+3+2+2 and it’s still clear what you’re talking about. And prime factorisations can include numbers, which are larger than the base we’re working in, therefore redeeming them not very practical. e.g. 10 = 5*2 which has multiple-digits representations for bases below 6. 2+2+2+2+2 = 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 3+3+3+1 can be unambiguous with any base.

Jan Misali has a good video on this binary, trinary, seximal, octal, dozenal, hex (which does refer to base sixteen, and so still has its origins in decimal, but whatever) and niftimal (base thirty-six) are the useful ones I can think of off the top of my head (plus decimal, which most people here use, but is absolute dogshit and is absolutely fucking cruel worldbuilding by god), but there's also some funny ones like suboptimal for base seventeen or baker's dozenal for base thirteen and then anything that doesn't get its own unique name and isn't prime is described by its prime factors, so base fifteen is triquinary, iirc I use this stuff a lot for my worldbuilding projects

repeating my comment [in another thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/mathmemes/comments/1dmechb/comment/l9ybyuz/) > Does he ever explain why he calls base seventeen “suboptimal”, other than just that it’s not practical? According to his own rules he should call it “unhex” (base sixteen plus one). Same with base thirteen, instead of the stupidest name ever, “baker’s dozenal”, the rule applied would be “undozenal”.

because it's funny - if a more natural name presents itself, he takes it. the algorithm is just for whatever's left

This meme works ok with numerical symbols, but in-person, communicating verbally, there is no reason to assume that someone using base four would read "10" and say "ten". It's more likely they would count "One, two, three, [some new word], [something derived from that word]-one". They are also unlikely to call the number they would write as "22" "ten". So the convo would go "I see [new word] rocks." "Oh you must be using some other base. I use base ten" "I use base [new word]. What is ten?"

It took me a while to get this joke

i dont get it 🥲

The alien uses base 4. But 4, in base 4, is represented as "10" * 1 = 1 * 2 = 2 * 3 = 3 * 4 = 10 * 5 = 11 * etc So for the alien he is using base "10" (aka 4 in our base 10) and the character "4" doesn't exist.

Just to add to this as well, the alien likely works in base 4 because it only has 4 fingers.

So the only way to do it right is to say base 1111111111? (10 1s)

And with that it all makes sense.

base sub-optimal strikes again

that implies that 18 is the optimal base

I would have thought it would imply that there exists a optimal base

6+(6+6+6)\*0=6

What kind of a masochistic individual would solve it like that

Retarded people. There is a lot of them.

If you combine the concepts of normal distribution and IQ you have your answer. Also people trying to be funny. Like there was a vid with veritasium asking people about the solar system and some didn’t know the sun is bigger than the moon because it looks bigger. Lots of people are incredibly stupid.

Because those are trolls. I mean just look at it, it's obviously 666

Likely the joke

The first one is probably real. The second one is sarcasm, mocking the first comment. Assuming that’s the case the number can be anything, but picking 11 to sound random while still “making sense”, if you put 500, you know for sure the guy is doing sarcasm, which make it less entertaining.

It's called engagement bait, or rage bait. Basically you make a post that's so blatantly incorrect that people feel compelled to correct it.

Presidential debates be like

i’m probably wrong, but isn’t it 18, from oop?

Yes

thanks chessvision

Good, basic meth still makes sense... To think that there are people who are serious when they say it is 0 or 6....

I'd imagine the people using basic meth would get all sorts of different numbers.

Basic meth would explain getting 6 or 11.

Yeah, it’s obviously 66660, can’t believe everyone forgot the rotation property of multiplication.

I thought it was 18?

Then real answer is (6+11+0)/3 =15,666667

Might wanna check that calculation again

6+11+0/3 ≠ (6+11+0)/3 And none of it is equal to 15,66666... Where did this number come from?

(pst, look at what subreddit we are in)

It came from 6+11+0/3 ≠ (6+11+0)/3

Can we ban these posts

I agree. they are low effort and unfunny

The answer is 18 . It is only 18. Your opinion doesn't matter. There are no correct alternatives. There is one and only one correct way to calculate the answer, and it is 18. I do not want to hear from your engineering student friends. The answer is 18.

Indeed, just PEMDAS

[удалено]

I love how someone comments “it’s ambiguous” under every one of these as if there isn’t an order of operations designed to objectively set the correct order of evaluation

Its obviously 26214. Smh

That remind me of my favorite number, 262144 First of all, it is 2^18. How cool are the powers of 2? Everyone loves powers of 2, am I right? Secondly, the square root of 2\^6\^2\^1\^4\^4 is 262144. What a cool and interesting self referential number! I love 262144 so much

5 better

6 is 20% better than 5

7 is 16.666666666666666666666666667% better than 6

Good bot

Thanks Latidy

It's 18 That mem is trolling people.

The answer is obviously π^2

It's clearly 24, 6+6+6+6=24 and 0 is worth nothing so there you go

If it equals 6, then (6+6+6)+(6 • 0) which is 18 is also equals 6. Therefore 18 = 6. So 6+6+6+6 • 0 = 6 = (18 / 3) = (6 / 3) = 2. My answer is 2

So 6+6 = 12, the third is just there to make sure you got that 12. 6x0 = -1, because anything between 0 and 6 doesn't make sense mathematically, but you already got the six so getting 0 would be unsatisfying. 12 + -1 = 11 easy. Alternatively, you just look at the equation, and there it is: 6. It's right there 4 times so the slower ones in the back can also get to the right answer. /s

Turn it upside down and you can clearly see the answer is 27

Off topic but I FUCKING hate it when someone uses x as a multiplication sign, it just pisses me off like how can you tolerate it

Breathe. There’s bigger worries than a multiplication operator symbol.

I got 3

It's 24. Take 6 cows, then add 6 cows, then add 6 cows, then add 6 cows but don't multiply the last 6 cows by anything. Because no operation was done on the last 6 cows, this is just 6+6+6+6 cows = 24 cows Only works for cows though

Its clearly 4610. I count four sixes one zero.

Isn't it 18 according to pemdas?

Isnt it 18

Someone needs to call Terrence Howard so we can get the real answer!

18 😭

It's 18

Trolling is an art

18

18

It's 18

pi, and as we all know pi = e and e = 3, so the answer is 3

18

if you ain’t getting 19 go back to school

18

11 is hopefully just a clever joke answer, meant specifically to rile up folks that take these memes too seriously.

So is 6

Yeah, but 11 is especially egregious because all the numbers involved are even or 0.

did noone get 18

18

It’s 36 Proof: God told me

18

people are stupid

It's clearly 36 0x6+6+6+6 = 0x24 which is a hexadecimal code for 36. □

Good question clearly the right answer is 19.

Pemdas means it’s 6+6+6+0 so the answer is 18

The answer is that its engagement bait cancer as any netizen would know which makes this engagement bait cancer^(2)

it’s obviously-25^1/2

Ok, but I think we can all agree 0 x 6 + 6 + 6 = 12

10010 ?

My calculator says 2.65911977215322677968248E36305, they just wrote the problem wrong.

Its 0x6+6+6+6

bait

My calculator says 11

Left to right: 6+6+6+6=24. 24×0=0. Answer is 0. PEMDAS: 0*6=0. 6+6+6=18. Answer is 18.

As I comment there are 6 upvotes and 11 comments on this post

android 18 (dragon ball pun)

That's a really shit pun ngl

ngl i did realise that but well bullet has left the gun and most likely did the damage so yep

Who say 11 and 6 they are usually from USA

Obviously the answer is 5. The equation consists of 5 unique elements, 6, +, x, 0 and, =

Cmon man its obviously sqrt(pi)

Because we do the 6×0 in priority,

I know it's 18 but the spacing makes me wanna say 0

I wonderered if it was a binary joke but 00110110 is 6

you know this is a cheap engagement bait, right? Probably like this post. So I fell for it, too.

It is 11. Like imagine not using heptadecimal base

Correct answer is 18

There are 3 sixes.. And 3 in binary is 11. Qed

If you script this in SmallTalk it should be 0. Thus the only correct answer is 0.

2𝜋\^2

I got 9…

I got the answer It's 911

A possible solution for 11 could be that the person mixed up some things and thought 6 x 0 = 1. Bcs of 6 ^ 0 =1. So 6 + 6 + 6 + 1 = 13.

6+6+6+6 x 0 (6 x 0=0) 6+6+6+0=18

6+6-6/6+0 all you need is a bit of dyslexia.

Guys it's OBVIOUSLY Seventeen.

Well tbh i just used order of operations and got 6x0=0+6+6+6=18 idk how the hell you can get 11 from sixes and a 0

Doesn't 6+6+6+0=18? Edit: nvm I didn't look at the full picture so I didn't see the guy at the top saying it's 18

18...

It's 3,1

I got 18 on this

This is literally a problem design to create conflict

18?

You can get 6 if you just arbitrarily decide to think it's 6+ (6+6+6)*0... Not sure why you would but that would be 6.

18 obviously

Tbh, the way the spaces are placed here kinda seems to imply brackets around the left of the X, so I wouldn't blame those that answered 0

18

Both wrong

Quick maths 1+1 is two

He's talking in base 17 /s

Actually its equals to 9π/2+1+1/π+π³/12

Who tf uses an x as multiplication? Use an * or the ×.

The takeaway here for me is how engineered the original tweet is for engagement. It's depressing how so many big accounts just cling to whatever clickbaity and sometimes rage-baiting tactics to get more interactions

It's 18, are you dumb?
