The answer is 178,910,723.64382

Don't ask me why I calculated that

[–] LogarithmicCamel@feddit.uk 85 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't accept your answer. I know deep in my heart that it's 4.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago

I got the same thing on my phone's calculator. Do you think the waterproofing will get in the way when I give it the baptism it clearly needs?

[–] themusicman@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's so ugly, it can't be correct... 4 is much nicer

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Glad you did though, only opened the comments to see what the actual answer was.

[–] MightyWeaksauce@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Ya beat me by seconds. Lemmy is truly blooming lol

[–] PR3CiSiON@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

I got 178,910,723.30891

My answer is superior.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Well, 4 wasn't that far off, considering.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's a 4 in the more accurate answer. That is proof of the divine showing the truth before man could understand the full answer.

[–] Bayz0r@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

This guy apologetics.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It was only a couple orders of magnitude off.

[–] kewko@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

2 is a couple, 9 is more like fewish

[–] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

2 is a couple.

What's a few, several, a bunch, a bit, many, a bundle?

[–] n0m4n@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

2 is a couple, nine is that pron crew.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Do we really want to live in a world where this fraction is the answer? I would like my kids to grow up knowing it's an integer

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Round down for simplicity. Yes, yes, I can see 4 being the easy answer.

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I saw three different serious-looking answers, so I punched it into a spreadsheet to get my own answer. What I got matches your answer, but with an extra 2 at the end.

[–] open_world@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I reached my digit quota that day.

[–] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Heathen! At that scale the digits after the decimal point aren't significant. I'm sure you know that in your heart. Why can't you accept an obvious universal truth?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

That is just a theory. You should present both sides. Also a majority of religious scholars say it is 4.
