Took me a second
(files.catbox.moe)
I'm just here trying to figure if this is Loss or not.
I'm bothered the boxes aren't the same size, ruining the joke
Ohhhhh now I get it. Yea that ruins the joke…
I'm not doing the math, but maybe box one is 75% the size of box four?
Why did this take you a second?
It only took me 3/4 of a second
This comes dangerously close to lost territory.
Three quarters close?
... is... is this loss?

This graph represents three out of four ways to write ¾.
What's the fourth way?
0.75
oh god, whats the second way then?
If I told you, I'd have to kill ¾ of you
that's a lot of horcruxes!
that's one of the options in the cartoon.
Yeah, option number 4 😎
Should have asked about the second way, fool
Ratio 3 : 1
L plus ratio
Binary: 0011/0100
Or with reciprocals: (4/3)^-1^
Or 75 basis points

[0; 1, 3]
"Three fourths"
But there are an infinite amount of ways to write that same amount. 6/8, 12/16, etc.
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?
Clue: How many boxes are there?
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.
Damn, good point.
Think of it like Voltron - 3 of the 3/4ths come together to make the ultimate unified 3/4ths!
"three quarters"?
There's a ratio 3:4 or spelling it out "three-quarters" Hope it helps
Or 4/5
Loss?
those are the same pictures
It works better for 2/3rds
/⅔/0.66//
Except there are 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.
⅔ ≠ .66
Yeah, should be 0.(6).
