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
