2 is smaller than three. I don’t see the issue. I mean, the teacher could have written both in either decimal or binary, but they, they got enough on their plates as it is, so let’s cut them some slack. The method the kid used is too sophisticated for me though. Some quantum computing mayhaps?
The argument presented here exemplifies a classic case of reductio ad absurdum.
Allow me to explain:
The task assigned is fundamentally flawed, as it instructs one to encircle the smallest number. This directive is inherently ambiguous, failing to specify whether it refers to the physical size, numeric value, the numerical system’s framework, or the contextual relevance. Such ambiguity renders the task unachievable by any individual, especially in the absence of precision tools.
The shape produced is tongue-in-cheek, as it is evidently not a true circle. The commentary accompanying it employs the reductio ad absurdum technique, referencing a rainbow. While a rainbow may appear circular and rounded, it is merely an optical illusion. This highlights the impracticality of the task, further emphasized by the irregular, non-circular depiction of the supposed rainbow, a direct consequence of the lack of sophisticated tools necessary for accurate execution.

Imagine getting this analysis by a 2nd grader
Came here to mention 10 is smaller than 11 but knew in my heart that it had already been said. On the other hand 16 is way more than 3
