Shouldn’t it be 500<?
It should be <500 or what they said. What they said is mathematically better but grammatically wonky, whereas what you said is 500 is less than steps per day.
Big number > small number < big number
I wasn’t interpreting the text as being part of the equation so I got a different result

I think the steps are the only challenge. Just going to the bathroom accrudes 1000 steps sometimes
I did that one day. Does it count?
I’ve been training for this my whole life
Sounds miserable no thanks.
People don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
If you read it aloud it doesn’t sound right, but from a mathematical perspective it’s saying the number of steps per day should be less than 500, which I think is the intention of the writer, no?
500 greater then steps per day
500 > steps_per_dayUnfortunately I don’t think we have enough information to solve for
steps_per_day, though I assume it is also= 0.So we can make an educated guess that
500 > steps_per_day >= 0Lmao
That’s if you interpret the text as being part of the equation
Yes that’s the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as ateps/day < 500
It’s so wrong it underflowed into somehow being right again.
Unusual? Sure. Mathematically? Right.
x>5 <=> 5>x 🤓
Can’t tell if an Excel enthusiast or a palindrome aficionado. 🤔
Yes

It’s correctly used in the text.
Number of steps < 500 is equivalent to 500 > number of steps.
I was thinking that. Seems to work to me, the wide end is the bigger number and 500 is more than your steps per day
It’s a bit weird, but imo not wrong. 500 > steps/day or steps/day < 500 is the same. As long as the big end of the < or > is at the 500 it makes sense. It only doesn’t make sense if you literally read 500 > steps/day as “five hundred greater than steps a day” instead of parsing it as math.
Only reason it’s so jarring is the context has people parsing the whole list as language and they weren’t expecting to have to abruptly parse a mathematical expression.
such as yourself you mean?
Nope, it’s wrong lol
They where busy… walking?
Completed it
Was with you until no home cooked meals. Takeaways cost more than I spend on food for a week and I can make better food.
Make it buy a kg of every flavour of sausage at the butchers and eat them all over the month and the challenge works out a lot cheaper and tastier.
This makes me think of a really neat business idea… DoorCook! Where your neighbor is your personal cook! You put in an order and a price range and any “neighbors” within the area can bid on the price.
We synergize our business by avoiding all those pesky regulations like food licenses and let your meal come directly from your loving neighbor.
Yeah but you’ll also be eating sausage for every meal of every day for that entire month.
And?
It’s gonna fit right in with the alcohol
That’s what makes it a challenge
Challenge? Bro this is just life
I do believe that is the joke.
500 greater than steps per day
aka steps per day less than 500
I don’t get why people have a problem with this
Yeah so I did the math. 500 is supposed greater than your number of steps per day.
That actually makes sense

I wouldn’t last 24 hours.
I don’t think I can go back to my 20s.

Already 5.5/7. Woohoo And i am female… Doos that makes me male?
'Fraid so. Check your mailbox for the hardhat and a return label for the seatbelt cutter.
Funny, but I had a seatbelt cutter long before I realized I was a woman.
Wait a minute…
Seatbelt cutters kind of have a sixth sense about who they’re supposed to be with and will seek out those in need.
No it just means you dobt get points. Think this is a treehouse situation.
Its fine. The girls only version can have drugs.
i’m sorry you weren’t assigned your appropriate doodle at birth. But! You can make a handy one out of gak, some condoms, some rubber bands, and some nylons. I hear.
Yes, you officially lost he iron.
More than, 500 steps a day!? What do you think I am–active?
While it did use the greater-than symbol, it was arranged unconventionally. The way it’s written is “500 is greater than steps per day,” meaning don’t walk too much, which fits with the rest of the author’s theme.
That’s not how that works, though… It is 100 % what they meant, but not at all how you use greater than/less than signs in text.
You do…?
Let n be the number of steps
500 > n >= 0
For exampleSure, I might have worded myself a bit clumsily. I meant using them in a conversational way. They’re trying to say “less than 500 steps,” which is very different from “500 is larger than steps per day” in tone.
My point was just that in normal speech and writing you would say “less than 500”, which would be written “< 500” if you insisted on using the mathematical sign.
No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly
Takeout every day? Your monthly food bills gotta be over 1k
One Chipotle bowl could be two of my meals, just to be fair. That’s $12 there. Add a cheeseburger or nuggets on a cheap menu and we are talking about $20 per day. 20 * 30 = $600, so still a lot.
Maybe the old sizes, their servings are miniscule now. And the prices went the opposite direction.
Sometimes I’ll get two chipotle bowls if I’m feeling especially peckish
We’re probably talking about dollar menus, gas station food and Cicis pizza buffet.
Cicis pizza buffet.
Does my $1.50 Costco hot dog and drink count as takeout?
Gourmet take out especially at that sweet $1.50!
