Rainbow Dash's cloud busting tally marks are 20% cooler. Seriously.

[Never2muchpinkie 211]

Saw this on another site and thought I'd repost this over here. Take a look at everyone else's tally marks. The easy way to keep track of numbers from tally marks is making four lines, then a diagonal line to symbolize five. Now look at Raibow Dash's. Hers has FIVE before the diagonal line, meaning all her tallies are made of six.  Ah, Hasbro,  with your sneaky way of throwing in popular memes.

Interesting, and clearly intentional. But does it equate to 20%? She has 6 rows of 6... making 36. it would be 30 if they were groups of 5 and not 6... So she had 30, meaning 20% (1/5) of her total would be 6. Since she has 6 more than 30, and 20% of 30 is 6, what she has on there now is 120% of 30.

 

Conclusion: Rainbow Dash is 20% COOLER than everypony else.... YEAHHHH! Whoever noticed this is BAWS.

Holy crap. That's a level of detail only the soggiest of nerds could dream of. Never have I been more impressed with a panda being tossed in my face.

My brain is breaking trying to comprehend the rapid fire math you're employing here. How about just going the simple way? 20% of five is ONE, thus why hers have six instead of five. 120% of five is six.

That... is actually very clever, and to be honest I never noticed that.  Good eye Never2muchpinkie, and thanks very much for sharing your find with the rest of us! 

 

P.S. On a side note, I just noticed that the pony in the pic is rocking a double chin which is bucking awesome if I do say so myself.

That is very cool.  It takes a person that looks at EVERY detail in a show to spot something like that.  I'm glad they did.  Pretty clever way of putting a meme in an episode.

I didn't think about it that way. I didn't even realise that the simplest way to work with 1/5 is using, well, 1/5. I've often found this happen, if you've been in higher level math courses, or helped younger kids with the ever-more conviluted methods being developed, the simplest stuff eludes you... Plus I've always had a habit of being over-complicated.

Wow, Rainbow Dash must have pulled herself to her limit to try to accomplish what she really wanted to do to be with her idols.

[Pomfritter 165]

That's a pretty epic inclusion that the majority of fans would've never have noticed. Thanks for bringing this to our attention; hopefully Hasbro keeps with these little easter eggs.

TBH I think it looks like he has an extra mouth on the bottom of his face. That is one scary butt cleft chin.

 

Anyways, how do you notice such things? I thought I had an eye for detail but I'm getting owned here. Nice catch, that's pretty cute of them to toss in. I bet there are more references.

*just says that so people will spend oodles of time look8ng for them*

Wow, I'd never had noticed that.

This is how you throw in a meme.
