      The letter “A” in the following pseudo-code:

      if time = 1 year -> A
      
      esle if time = 1 month -> AA
      
      else if time = 1 week -> AAAA
      
      else if time = 1 day -> AAAAAA

        Alternatively: levels of “oh no” for an upcoming essay

        And how would that be useful?

        Of course you can just write anything to match the question, but in theory the answer should have existed before the question, so it should make sense on its own.

      There’s an old sex joke that fits. Something along the lines of the stages of a person’s life:

      An old man An old married couple Newly Weds A teenager

      i think this was meant to be a shitpost and has no intended solution. out of all the crappy ones i could find on google this one makes the most sense, but given how there was probably no intended solution this one still doesn’t make a lot of sense overall

      Spoiler

      its the letter f.

      once a year: thats the f in Feburary

      twice a month: the month has 4 weeks and the 2 f’s are the First and Fourth weeks.

      four times a week: the week has 7 days and the 4 f’s are the First, Fourth and FiFth days.

      six times a day: a day has 24 hours and the 6 f’s are the First, Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and twenty-Fourth hours (yes there are 2 f’s in fifteen)

        There are already 7 before getting to twenty-Fourth. (Which is the next day anyway) But yeah, that almost makes sense

            I was. If you instead count midnight as “first hour”, 01:00 as “second hour”, etc, then “twenty Fourth hour” has at least the 8th F.
