We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.

The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.

Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

You do have a number, it's just not written down! It's that a full circle is 360 degrees

  • Let x + y = d and w + z = e for easier writing
  • We know d + e = 360 degrees (a full circle)
  • d = e, so 2d = 360, so d = 180 degrees
  • The angle AOB = d, and d = 180 degrees, so AB is a straight line

The actual maths is really easy, the bit that I assume is tripping you up is the realisation that you have more information than the words of the question
