The tariff formula includes multiplying by two constants, one of them equal to 4 and the other to 0.25, which is just a roundabout way of multiplying by 1

That's about as logical as the tariffs themselves. Everything is normal here, then.

For what safety?

Division has op precedence over addition.

Oh, you assume this runs on a standard arithmetic patterns?

Big mistake my dude.

When nothing else in the world makes sense, at least math makes sense

Or some sort of normalized conversion factor like "tariff rate boys kissed per star sign" to get the units to work out correctly.

Unicode modulo 12 + 1

Aries = β™ˆ = U+2648
2648 base 16 = 9800 base 10
9800 modulo 12 = 8
8 + 1 = 9

I'm unclear why you'd modulo when the OP calls for division?

That said, I hate that this almost works out to a reasonable sounding tariff rate number with the modulo.

You still have to divide by the number of boys you kissed and multiply by one

Right. So I assume in your case, you've kissed 12 boys* which would be why you'd modulo by 12. But why do the modulo instead of division?

*Side note: do they have to be boys (as in juvenile/adolescent males), or are we counting grown men too?

There are 12 zodiacs. In unicode, they have consecutive hexadecimal codes (2648 to 2653). Converting to decimal, doing modulo 12 and adding 1 should yield the numbers 1 to 12. At least that was my intention.

Sadly, this instance has no appropriate community for a crosspost

It should obviously go in ![email protected], right? It's the meta community for the instance, and although the meme isn't directly relevant, the posting of the meme in that community would be rather meta indeed...
