The genius of Gauss

A three-panel meme featuring the green-skinned, skeletal character from Batman: The Animated Series. In the first panel, he asks "Which Gauss' theorem?" while standing in a control room. The second panel shows Batman, with text overlay "The one with dozens of different proofs." The third panel returns to the green character, who sarcastically asks "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?" The joke is about the ambiguity of citing "Gauss' theorem" in mathematics, as Carl Friedrich Gauss contributed many theorems, making the reference vague.
