You laugh, you lose.

Are videos “allowed?”

@Teslakana  
I gotta know if my logic is stupid or not. Is it 2, and is it how many ovals are in each set of numbers…? D:

@Teslakana

_{^{i don’t get it}}
 
EDIT:  
@Badumsquish  
oh god dammit that’s what it is  
yeah that looks exactly right

@Badumsquish  
Wait, that’s how you’re supposed to do it? I went the long way around and did systems of equations with the left side numbers as variables.

If The Winter Olympics were hosted in Hoth…

The mogul skier will be down in moments. You may start your medal run.

@Flying Pancake  
No he’s right, it’s the amount of ovals/circles in each set of numbers.

When you’re playing Mario Kart, and a blue shell appears.
 

@Teslakana  
Yeah, now I can see it; That makes way more sense than what I was doing.

@SuperPinkiePie64  
That is perfect. Especially the grin on the person in 2nd place.
 
@Flying Pancake  
…So basically you got the right answer by dumb luck. Unless whatever you did is somehow reducible to counting the number of circles/ovals in the numbers.
 
Also, I guess the intro at the top actually sorta makes sense now; people with higher math education are less likely to be focusing on the shapes of the numbers as opposed to their actual values.

@SuperPinkiePie64  
I almost failed at this one. XD

@SuperSupermario24  
It does reduce, just without me realizing it. I made the (questionable) assumptions that each digit on the left was a single variable, and they were being added together. So, 0000=4 becomes 0+0+0+0=4 and then 4*0=4, meaning 0=1.  
Then I repeated that process for all the digits in 8809 and 2581, which meant 2581=0+0+2+0=2.  
So, the method works, the answer’s right, but I didn’t understand the concept at all. That about sums up my experience with math in general, come to think of it.
 
And I get the preschoolers part now, but why were programmers mentioned?

 

@Napsack  
Goddammit, I failed at this one!! Shit! XD

@Flying Pancake  
Ah, so you correctly determined the “value” of each digit, just not why they were those values.

When God really really wants to make things interesting:  

:P  

Saw this whole shopping. Felt like it was worth post8ng here.

The porg watching Chewbacca part makes so much sense; the porg just wanted some food, not for Chewie to discard the already cooked meal.

Justin Trudeau…
