Champagne = 10
Burger = 5
Beer = 2
Hotdog = x

int _0^inf
10 sin(x) / x dx =
5 [sin(x) / x]

This is the Dirichlet integral with a constant multiplier of 5, so:
int_0^inf 5 sin(x) / x = 5/2

I'm fairly certain it's a pseudo-logarithmic application of the Hanson coefficient.

See, I can make up words too.

While true, Id say a depressing number of them couldnt figure out that Champagne is worth 10, burger is worth 5, and beer is worth 2.

You don't have to be a maths major. Any STEM major could probably figure it out

no.

30 / 3 = 10
(20 - 10) / 2 = 5
(9 - 5) / 2 = 2

My vision is 20/200, so it just looked like a beer to me.

Either way, everywhere in the equation its a pair of beers, so the value is 2 everywhere that matters.

Id say most STEM majors purged this kind of information shortly after graduation unless they went into a field they had to know this

Yeah but a lot of times on these pictures the way they trick you is to make it a pair of beers and then on the final puzzle its only one beer and thats how you get it wrong, thats why I always notice that now

i mean its inconsequential since there's 2 beers in the integral. but the dude missed this (perhaps a typo?) when he wrote:

int _0^inf
10 sin(x) / x dx =
5 [sin(x) / x]

I think it may be a typo upon further analysis because he did divide by two to get the the 3rd line. I still dock -1 mark for typo. And another -0.5 for the lack of humility. This is the loosey goosey shit that crashes space shuttles or sinks submarines!

I got straight As in calculus and diff eqs but that was 8 years ago and I've completely forgotten how to solve an integral and have no plans to learn that ever again.
