While making my mac n cheese I was thinking about fractions,
and I realized if you took a fraction of a whole number, and wanted to make it the next biggest fraction of a whole number, all you have to do is add that next biggest fraction multiplied by your current fraction to your current fraction.
[are you totally lost yet?]
Like say you had 1/4 and you wanted to make it 1/3, all you have to do is add a third of 1/4 to 1/4 and you'll get 1/3.
like 1/3 of 1/4 is 1/12 right? and then you add that to 1/4 which is 3/12
so 1/12 + 3/12 = 4/12 which is 1/3, the next biggest fraction of a whole number!
Holy shit!
It works!
Say you want to make 1/7 into 1/6
1/6 of 1/7 is 1/42, and 1/7 is 6/42. 1/42 + 6/42 = 7/42 = 1/6
MY GOD.
I am a mathematical genius.

You know your life is sad when you fill out a survey on the M-space and the question is:
"What's the best thing that's happened all day?"
and your answer is:
"I found a banana and I ate it."
