The anonymous user posted this image to prompt a discussion on how little episodes of the 14 episode first season of Haruhi you would have to watch in order to watch them in every possible order, repeats included.
The thread eventually reached a working conclusion by divising a formula that would solve for any ânâ length sequence. The threadâs findings were compiled on the mathsci wiki and titled âThe Haruhi Problem.â
Last Monday (10/22/18), university mathematician Jay Pantone created a more professional looking assessment of their findings here. This lead to academia learning about 4chanâs unique findings and itâs being widely discussed.
The problem now is about credit. 4chan being an anonymous image board, thereâs no one to cite for the findings.
