Standard rules of comic chat-bubbles tend to apply to most of Randels comics. Also, that it says 'guys' suggests that it's someone outside talking to both of them. In the transcript, you can see that the 'Uh' is from Cueball, but the 'Guys' and 'Aww, c'mon' are not-they are from the narrator. There are a couple of reasons I believe there is a fourth wall violation here. I'm sure this joke is just mixing Sex and Math, not more.- Dgbrt ( talk) 19:18, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

At the title text Cueball is disappointed because they still have to work on more complicated numbers. The joke is just that Cueball is trying more different numbers by some mathematical calculations but Megan is visibly annoyed. While I just did fix the Wiki link I don't think this 'Fourth Wall' is relevant. Narrator: √ 8 Narrator: Guys? Narrator: ln(2π) Narrator: Aww, c'mon.Īdd a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments! Discussion Transcript xkcd presents a guide to numerical sex positions: Narrator: 69 Narrator: 99 Narrator: 71 Narrator: 34 Cueball: Uh. The narrator is so frustrated, as we are told in the title text, because he did not even get to ask them to do a continued fraction (which likely would have involved many other people) as the ultimate challenge. And finally, Megan gives up and leaves at the suggestion ln(2 π) (or ≈ 1.83787706641) to the frustration of the narrator, who exclaims Aww, c'mon. Then they are completely baffled by √8 (AKA 2√2 or ≈ 2.82842712475) (presumably one of them is to contort into a figure-eight shape while the other lies on top), and just stand there while the narrator asks Guys? - as in give it a try. They are then given ever more difficult numbers to attempt, first 34 (maybe referencing rule 34 of the internet) - Cueball exclaims Uh as he has no idea how to make a 3 (maybe he's supposed to curl up in a fetal position), although Megan does try (in vain) to form a 4. They start with the classic 69, then represent the number 99 as 'spooning' while standing and the number 71 as 'doggy-style' sex over a table. Many of them are named, although only one generally accepted position is named after a number: the 69.Ĭueball and Megan try to approximate the shapes of the numbers, which they are given by the narrator, as sex positions.

Sex positions are positions that two people can have sexual intercourse in.

Title text: We didn't even get to the continued fractions!
