The answer is 178,910,723.64382
Don’t ask me why I calculated that
I don’t accept your answer. I know deep in my heart that it’s 4.
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?
That’s so ugly, it can’t be correct… 4 is much nicer

Glad you did though, only opened the comments to see what the actual answer was.
Ya beat me by seconds. Lemmy is truly blooming lol
I got 178,910,723.30891
My answer is superior.
Well, 4 wasn’t that far off, considering.
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.
This guy apologetics.
It was only a couple orders of magnitude off.
2 is a couple, 9 is more like fewish
2 is a couple.
What’s a few, several, a bunch, a bit, many, a bundle?
2 is a couple, nine is that pron crew.
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
No thank you! Integer is too close to the devil’s word: integration!
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.
Yeah, I reached my digit quota that day.
Round down for simplicity. Yes, yes, I can see 4 being the easy answer.
That is too complicated for me to understand, therefore, it is too complicated for everyone to understand. Why would anyone believe something that I can’t understand?
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?
That is just a theory. You should present both sides. Also a majority of religious scholars say it is 4.

You aren’t supposed to read it literally. 4 is metaphorical.
Well God is a trinity and is therefore also divisible by 3, checkmate atheists!
I have a guy feeling that one of these days Zach will make the old URL format not work anymore. So here’s the same comic in the new format (found by going to the next comic, then the previous) https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2013-10-31
this changes nothing and I have nothing to add, have a nice day
The product ends in a 5 so it is odd and cannot be divisible by 4.
They’d then go to war
Those damn people worshipping their rabbit god when we know for a fact the duck god is the true god! Now they refuse to believe the answer is 4.
This means war!
Only when the other guy starts saying it’s -7 with equal confidence.
179288872.22473
Pretty sure it’s 4
That other number is long and complicated and scary. I looked into my heart and found that 4 was the answer that spoke to me the loudest.
“it is 4” – Me 1:1
Well there’s a 4 in it so it’s basically a 100% true prediction, buy my book to see the next one
This checks. I estimated it to under 1/5 billion.
To the OP, some periods or commas would have been nice.
To the 4ists, Yeah. Well, ya know, that’s just, like, your opinion man.
Yeah I know, I had copied it from a calculator but thought it had copied the commas
I was just jesting. No commas, (or periods for overseas friends), made the cartoon harder, which made the post funnier.
Good post!
I would have said “42” and walked away
Pretty sure his theory is a hypothesis.
It’s not that far off. Math philosophy gets nuts
I remember back in the day when we were all up in arms about sets
On a cosmological scale the real answer and 4 are effectively the same number.
Edit: not sure I understand the down votes…
I got the joke.
At least calculator provides answers.
