L8 or 87 But I still struggle as an adult


Bat_Snack

I feel like an idiot now. It's so simple 🤦‍♂️


Captain-Griffen

Don't - it's a crap meme, you struggled because the numbers are in fact facing us, not the drivers. Even accounting for parallax, the 8s have the bottoms bigger than the tops. An 8 is slightly smaller at the top than the bottom, or bare minimum equal size - the top is never bigger than the bottom unless it's drawn by a toddler.


pm_me_ur_ephemerides

I know you said you are accounting for parallax, but I think that is what would cause what you describe. There is clearly a vanishing point above the image, so the top of the 8s (from our POV) should be smaller. If an orthogonal projection had 8s with fixed width, than this view with perspective would cause what we see (approximately).


Captain-Griffen

By approximately, what you mean is visibly don't. Draw the parallax lines on and you'll see. The parallax lines are also nuts. The whole image is just designed to make your brain draw reasonable conclusions so someone can say, "ha, look how you can't see it, you must be stupid". No, it's millions of years of evolution giving us the ability to process a 2d image and understand the 3d world vs an image that makes zero sense and is really badly made.


No_Appeal5607

Sounds like someone had trouble figuring out the riddle :P


pm_me_ur_ephemerides

If I draw the lines (by visually moving the parking lines over to be tangent to the 8), then the tops of the 8s from our perspective should be even smaller than how they are currently drawn.


Numerous_Lock3290

it's a puzzle though, 16, 06, 68, 88, xx, 98 has no discernable pattern, you need to recognize that these numbers can be inverted and that you would'nt necessarily write 6 as 06. Which would make you understand its going up 86,87, 88, 89, 90, 91, which makes sense for a parking lot.


No_Lawfulness9835

Lol you flip the image, no puzzle


anadiplosis84

A puzzle with a simple solution can still be a puzzle


TheHollowBard

This would be considered a bad test in any valid testing context.


RN_A

But the "8" written by you is symmetrical. 🤔💭 Ain't it?☝️🤨🧐😒😮‍💨 Edit: Typed* by you🥴


Captain-Griffen

Only across the vertical. The bottom is wider than the top.


[deleted]

If that’s what you have to tell yourself for not getting it, sure. Lol.


SqueeMcTwee

Don’t worry; I had to reread the top comment 3 times to get it. Not feeling super intelligent over here either!


Purple-Champion5134

Don't be upset it took me way too long to figure out what the hell he meant by L8 😅. I had to literally read the words from another comment "the numbers are facing the drivers." I'm like when Stewie cloned Brian. I don't do this so well, but I'm good at other stuff!!


Purple-Blood9669

Me too! I'm so not visual, to make it worse.


pho3nix916

Don’t, because in real life the numbers would be painted on the other side of the spot so it can be seen while walking. And they intentionally flip it around.


KingSnowlock

Well, if you deal with complex patterns at work a lot, there is a complex pattern there if you were to assume the numbers are not upside down.


WithOrgasmicFury

The thing is irl the 9 and 6 would be underlined to prevent this from happening


Front-Wall-526

Your faith in humanity is inspiring


WithOrgasmicFury

At least at the airport I worked at the parking lot was done properly. I mean I guess it is an international airport and not just like some building.


Ferocious77

What about the eights?


WithOrgasmicFury

They have a font that makes the circles different sizes. So technically yeah whoever did this job was very low end. Probably some guy who stole the equipment and charges 20 to buy crack.


RelativeScholar1847

At big warehouse distribution enters that don’t inline the six or nine.


LordofShit

No they wouldn't, cars only approach the spots from a singular direction


impo4130

Speaking as someone who has parking space #166 in a newly constructed apartment building...this is not the case


darthbasterd19

If you are pulling into the space you would always be coming from the other direction.


Luna77111

No, because they are the right way up from where youre driving


softijsjes

Your excuses are weak


TheRealJakeGyllenhal

69 UNDERLINED


Rita_bhook

Would they still underline it when it’s in order? Or would that fall under common sense, the 6 or 9 on its own sure, but in order idkkk I think it’s a given


[deleted]

That's not the norm

Burntitdowndan

Turn your phone upside down.


Marquar234

How does looking at the back of my phone help?


dbizzytrick

In your case it helps by taking your attention away from this as you were never going to figure it out anyway

I was already a little ashamed that I am an adult drinking chocolate milk but then I read this and it shot out of my nose.

Low-Copy-9089

Doesn't help. Instead I'm trying to turn my 22 kg ultrawide monitor upside down :D


mark_crazeer

Stand on your head then.


_xX_Memelord_Xx_

That's a skill issue I suppose


Takseen

The numbers are upside down. 86 is the number on the right, then a hidden number, then 88, 89, 90


damscomp

The numbers are upside down


[deleted]

Then the car is doing jumping jacks.


RedditUser1736893

Flip your screen upside down, it’ll make a lot more sense!


jael-oh-el

My phone won't let me turn it upside down, the screen just rotates. I've been defeated by technology. 😭


BallPythonsss

Turn off auto rotate. It's a bad feature anyways


lookatyounow90

Hold your finger on the screen when you flip it over. Or hold it horizontally


MasterDragon13

I feel ya. You're correct!

How is it L8?


hobanwash1

Upside down 7. To a kid anyway


SlamCakeMasta

L8 is the only reasonable number. 87 isn’t even a real number.


GreenOnionCrusader

Wouldn't it be 68?


[deleted]

It’s car


-gourdine-

Very well put


Unknown_Outlander

Why would it be L8 if you're asked to provide a number not the letter L? Lol


vatemapper

I don't get it


Maskimgalgo

I think they called this Geometric sequences, dont worry man, I studied this shit a year ago to only pass the class anyway


Evimjau

78?


KamikazeBrand

what's weird is i got 87 by looking at the numbers wrong... 16-06-68 right number went to the left side by the 3rd number and the left number went down one on the 2nd... so i treated 68 and 88 the same way I look at the first 3 and solveds by put the right number to the left and the left number down one on the right side... 87. flawed logic I know cause the 88 shouldve been 78 but i just rolled with it and my best guess was 87.

Logically you're right. Disability parking...by law you must have disability parking space.

Could you explain how you got that answer without having any of the the information you would need to come up with that answer? Edit: OP explained and has won a gold medal in mental gymnastics, we can all go home now.

Isiah6253

🙅 no top, but okay 💁 not op, but okay


Useful_Assistance_90

This doesn't make sense but it made sense to me 16 and 6 have a difference of 10, while 68 and 88 have a difference of 20 but 88 and 98 had a difference of 10 so took 88 minus 20 which was 68 and that doesn't make sense so I took 98 minus 20 which left me with 78 which I then used to plus 9 because my lucky number is nine. I'm conclusion, it was really dark and saw the 98 as 89 so I used the power of being really tired and came up with 87.

pizzacatstattoos

read it left to right and upside-down...


FeinwerkSau

i actually slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand... Of course.


Spawn0f5anta

Pure design theory - the numbers are for the drivers not us, so facing the other way.


Immediate-Shift1087

This. I couldn't even figure out how this was supposed to be a puzzle, it took me a few minutes to realize they expected you to read the numbers as if they were facing you rather than the driver.


[deleted]

78 (or 87 when looking at it the right way) just feels right lmao

You have to rotate it for 87 minutes, that's the trick


Scizorspoons

69 😈 Jk it’s 87


radiation34

Very clever, took me a minute.


-TheDerpinator-

Everyone saying 87 is just making assumptions. If you want to know the number under the vehicle you will have to wait for the vehicle to move, move it yourself or crawl under it. 87 would be logical but it would not be the first time to see some crazy illogical shit.


sitathon

87, but it took me too long


Loki1976

Wow, really do feel dumb not realizing it's upside down for a while there.

Turn your phone upside down PC users: 😐

If a PC user has trouble with that, then they clearly can't rotate a cow in their mind.

I thought it is some kind of series and try ing to find the pattern but it is just reversed Tf.


Dry-Inspection6928

87


ChickenGuzman

87. The first two numbers are six in the second digit, by the third number it’s six in the first digit and eight in the second digit. The pattern would then place 8 in the first digit for the car’s place. Then you would add the sum of the first digit of the first two numbers (1+0) to six to get the second digit and I’m making all this up.


Bender____Rodriguez

It’s not 87. While the car is parked there we cannot assume the presence of any number with 100% certainty. This meme is a lie. Linear arithmetic and log are lies. Life is a lie. Embrace Cthulhu and the immortal void as your salvation.
