A ‘Todd-ism’ is when Todd says ‘a logarithm’ (log-ar-ithm, something a rocket scientist uses) but he really means ‘algorithm’ (Al-Gore-ithm, something a computer scientist uses and Al Gore abuses like a drunk man on a barstool)

Todd: 'I used a logarithm to solve this!' Teacher: 'Todd, that’s an algorithm.'

Todd: 'Logarithm is the best math ever!' Teacher: 'No, it’s an algorithm.'

Todd: 'Logarithm is like a fancy algorithm.' Teacher: 'No, it’s not. It’s just a fancy word.'

A logarithm is like a math wizard that turns big numbers into small ones. It helps you figure out how many times a number has to be multiplied by itself to get another number. It’s used in math, like when you graph how many people die from a virus.

'I graphed the log of deaths and it looked like a nice curve.'

'The log of 1000 is 3 because 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000.'

'Logs help when numbers get too big and you want to see the trend.'

A logarithm is how you calculate the amount of corn in your poop compared to the total weight of your log. It’s measured in nibblets, and it’s the worst thing ever.

'My corn ratio today is 22 nibblets. That’s a new high.'

'I ate a whole log and my corn ratio is 5 nibblets. I’m sad.'

'My log is 100 grams and 3 grams are corn. That’s 3 nibblets. Not bad.'

A logarithm is when you take a number and find out what power it had to be raised to get there. It’s like figuring out the exponent in reverse. It’s used in math, and it’s super confusing.

'What’s the log of 8 with base 2? It’s 3 because 2^3 = 8.'

'Log of 100 with base 10 is 2 because 10^2 = 100.'

'The log of 16 with base 4 is 2 because 4^2 = 16.'

A logarithm is like a first-aid trick you use when someone trips on a log. You say, 'Here, take a log and use it to help you up.' It doesn’t actually help, but it sounds good.

'He fell on a log and I gave him another log to help him up.'

'Logarithm is like a log in the hand.'

'He tripped on a log and I gave him a log. He said it helped.'

A logarithm is the power that 10 has to be raised to get a number. It’s from Greek words meaning ‘reason’ and ‘number’. It’s used in math when you do stuff like population growth.

'The log of 1000 is 3 because 10^3 = 1000.'

'Log of 10 is 1 because 10^1 = 10.'

'Log of 10000 is 4 because 10^4 = 10000.'

A logarithm is the most crappiest (C-RRRR-AAAA-P-EEEE) math topic ever. It tells you how many times you have to divide a number by the base to get to 1. It’s the inverse of exponentials, and no one cares.

'Log of 8 with base 2 is 3 because 8 divided by 2 three times is 1.'

'Log of 16 with base 4 is 2 because 16 divided by 4 twice is 1.'

'Log of 100 with base 10 is 2 because 100 divided by 10 twice is 1.'
