That Ain’t Right
Sorry, Mr. Caption guy, but acute angles are angles less than 90 degrees. A 90 degree angle is a right angle. So riddle me this, if I were to take that image and multiply it four times, would it be a joke for squares?
I apologize if you find my sense of humor to be a bit obtuse.
There are 10 types of people in the world.
When I was in high school, I used to sign yearbooks with the message: “There are 3 types of people in the world: those that can count and those that can’t.” When I got to college and started studying computer science, my eyes were opened and I learned that there’s actually 10 types!

So in 20 seconds can you figure that answer out?
16 06 68 88 ? 98.
What is the pattern?
Well how about if I showed you this:
Does that help? You can scroll to the bottom for the solution if you are still stumped.
Someone had a bit of fun and added some political correctness:
Solution: OK! so if you were unable to figure out the answer, it was 87. The original image shows a parking lot but the numbers are upside down, which would make sense if you were pulling into the parking space. The car pictured appears to have backed in. Ok, not terribly tough if you’re 30. But at 6? How old were you when you learned to tie your shoes? That is a pretty rough question. I’d like to see more!
Edit: Even the Today show discussed it!
No Love for Pi
Whenever I see Pi mentioned in a comic, I get hungry.
Note to self: Don’t publish math comics before dinner.
P.S. Buy some pie.
Update: Came Across another comic with the same joke.
