Explanation
|
This explanation is either missing or incomplete. |
A semiprime is a composite number that is the product of exactly two prime numbers, such as 4, 6, 9, 10, 14, etc. This comic references a common joke that mathematicians take pride in having their work be pure rather than applied, so finding application for it would be undesired. In this case, the "application" is simply a way to exaggerate qualifications.

- [Describe panel here]
- I study semi-primes.
- What? You can do that? Can you have three factors and call them semidemiprimes? Or four and call them semidemihemiprimes?
- Huh?
- Numbers that are the product of exactly two factors.
- They're called k-almost primes. Like a 12-almost prime has 12 factors.
- Well-
- Wait, ohmygod, I'm gonna call 1 a "o-almost prime" because it has no prime factors! !
- What?? This is the greatest use of "almost" anywhere! So prime numbers are 1-almost primes??
- We don't-
- Don't you dare find applications for my work.
- We can use this in real life! I am 3-almost rich and famous. I am 6-almost the president. 8-almost the sexiest butt in the nation!
- Sorry, sorry, that was too far.

- Proposal: Instead of 2-almost, we say "pretty much" and for 3-almost, it's "preetty much," and for 4-almost, it's "preeetty much" and so on.
