Once you get to a certain level of advanced maths, you basically become a wizard.

There is a theory that the way children play serves as a means to simulate and prepare them for the tasks they'll take on as adults. So for all the narrative weight both Jinx and the story give the boxing machine at the arcade it would never have prepared her or the kids to take on Piltover.

What are the two things that Piltovans excel at over their Zaunite counterparts to keep the hierarchy? Weapons and technological development.

When you look at the way Piltovans invest in their children, they don't prioritize hand to hand/melee combat training. Piltovans focus on giving their children experiences in handling firearms, a pursuit that is both leisure sport for the wealthy and a key offense against dissenting Zaunites.

And from the show notes even Jayce, whose family occupies the upper middle class, was sent on educational excursions across Runeterra to explore the world and learn what it had to offer. Without Jayce's education abroad he would never have been inspired to pursue the concept hextech.

It's no wonder that the two figures that are set to be Piltover's biggest threats from Zaun are Jinx and Viktor, becasue they engaged in the same kinds of games and activities as their Piltovan counterparts.

Jinx didn't have an entire forest preserved to help her practice her sharpshooting like the high houses of Piltover, but she did excel in the few games at The Rift (the arcade) that built on her talents. She's the only Zaunite thus far who's long distance offensive is a strong counter to Piltover's forces.

Viktor couldn't travel the world like Jayce did, but for better or worse he managed to stumble into an opportunity to get real opportunity in research not offered to his peers through Singed. It was through that experience that Viktor knew to turn to Singed when he was at the end of his rope, and the consequences of that will be fully realized in season 2.

Ironically, the kind of skill the boxing game champions is only good for keeping other Zaunites in line. Vander's days of fighting Piltover were way behind him when we first met him, and Vi spends season 1 primarily fighting other Zaunites. It's no surprise the Zaunites who embody the old ideal of strength in Zaun that the game portrays, Vi and Vander, are largely at the mercy of Piltover and end up collaborating with them to avoid further harm.

Zaun's future as an independent city-state couldn't happen if they stuck to their old ideals. The people who stand a chance against Piltover are the ones that not only succeed but excel at playing Piltover's games against them.

Gale Math

So, we all know that in the epilogue, Gale tells Tav:

I love you.

And if you look at the datamined dialog files and read the dev notes, you’ll see this:

Devnote: With the warmth of having said this a thousand times before.

So, taking that statement as a FACT (which, you know, I’m certain it was intended to be…) we now have a solid numerical value to start with: 1000.

Next, we know that per the narrator at the epilogue start, it’s been 6 months since the defeat of the netherbrain; therefore it’s been 6 months since Gale and Tav got engaged/agreed to live together. We’re going to conclude that they have spent every day together since then.

6 months = 182.5 days

Now, assuming that Gale says ‘I love you’ to Tav on a relatively similar schedule each day (ex: when they first wake up, when Gale heads out to Blackstaff Academy, etc. etc.) we can make an equation:

1000 declarations of love divided by 182.5 days = the amount of times Gale tells Tav he loves them every single day.

We solve the equation and get 5.47945205

We round that down, and voila! We now have flawless mathematical proof that

Gale says ‘I love you’ to Tav an average of 5 times every single day

Me after I first went from a community where 'trans men are girl brained which is why they are inferior to us real trans people, so be a good crossdresser and do most of the chores. Its not our fault we were never taught how, while you were forced into doing it since you could walk'

To the very progressive:

'Trans men are the meniest most privileged meniest men of all malekind and misogyny is a swear word to them, true men of trans manness don't acknowledge misogyny at all and if you do you're a transtrend- i mean faker- I mean misogynist- I MEAN HEFAB USING HIS ASAB TO GET SYMPATHY. NO THERE IS NO GRACE for not understanding all the correct terminology you tme facist! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER. EDUCATE YOURSELF USING THESE ENGLISH BOOKS YOU CAN'T REALLY READ'

WAIT WAIT WAIT STORY TIME STORY TIME !!

OKAY, IT WAS SO FUNNY IN MATH IN MATH, okay okay so my teacher was handing back our tests, right? and on the last question—he does this with every test—there was like a 'draw a smiley face for a point' thingy, nd he was listing a few drawings ppl did, and he mentioned someone did something outsiders related.

and, and i KID you nOT.

EVERYONE. EVERYONE IN CLASS. TURNED TO LOOK AT ME. EVEN THE PEOPLE I DON'T TALK TO ABOUT THE OUTSIDERS. LIKE, PPL I DONT TALK TO TURNED TO LOOK AT ME.

I WAS LIKE: "BRO WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME WHAT ASDHS"

AND THEN EVERYONE WAS LIKE: "YOU TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME/YOURE LITERLLY WEARING A 'stay gold' NECKLACE RN/YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE OF HER [ s.e. hinton's ] BOOKS IN YOUR HANDS"

I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD OMFG. i jst like the outsiders a teeny bit guys. jst a little bit.

Would anyone be mad at me if I wrote Loki x scientist reader fanfic where I basically ramble about my exam topics bc I saw a Reddit post of someone who did something like that and it helped them study the material 🥺🥺

people who pull out ai when a maths problem takes more than 5 minutes being shocked when they can't solve shit in the actual test is so funny to me

Hi theres lots of math fans around here, can you tell me about your fave math concept? :3 it can be anything from the Birckhoff ergodic theorem to the concept of finite Galois theory to the very concept of a square btw
