This cartoon is titled Today’s Math Quiz and depicts a large, private yacht in the water. The quiz is: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has 3 yachts. If Zuckerberg’s net worth is $200 billion and his biggest 390-foot super yacht cost him $300 million, how many of the 8,000 meta employees who were fired by Zuckerberg in May could fit on the yacht?” The answer is: “0.
