Why it worked

The post leverages common misconceptions in mathematics, presented in a meme format that is highly shareable and engaging. The "math larper" framing and the promise of an IQ test tap into a desire for intellectual validation and a sense of community among those interested in math.

Summary

This post presents five mathematical concepts that often confuse people who "roleplay" as mathematicians. It explains concepts like the equality of 0.999... and 1, the nature of infinity, order of operations in ambiguous expressions, the difference between square roots and solving quadratic equations, and the meaning of 'undefined'. The post concludes by inviting viewers to take an IQ test via a link in the bio.
