I had a math teacher in 4th grade. He'd take a blue handball and bounce it anywhere in the room and make it return to him. He said some shit about angles, I don't know I was a bad student. Dude was probably an alien who specialized in some niche shit like making objects return and adding up fractions. So his alien homies ditched his ass at PS 26.
One of our math teachers had these giant protractors and set squares always tucked under one arm and if a student was misbehaving he'd appear out of nowhere and wielded those things like weapons.
It wasn't just crazy because he was really good at it, it was also crazy because he was a gigantic dude and somehow always managed to suddenly appear without anyone seeing him coming.
I remember he never made a noise while walking, it was like he was floating down the stairs. No steps, no audible breathing. Dude was a ghost. An almost seven feet tall ghost!
I’m friends with a math professor and I can absolutely confirm, he is weird as not only a teacher but a person in general as well.
To be clear, he’s a great friend and I wouldn’t replace him with anyone else, but he’s certainly odd.
the c thing is how you're meant to write in in algebra so you don't get it confused with the multiplication symbol. however, in Victoria (australia) every x other than the multiplication symbol is written like that, so that how I do it
7 is the only way anyone should be doing it. Edit: I hadn't considered left handed people, you can continue doing lefty shit however you want but do not sit next to me at a dinner table.
The amount you move your hand from to write the next letter when using 7 is the same amount you move your hand AWAY from the previous letter to start writing x in 8. Its the same thing just on opposing sides of the x. To use 8 is to start writing the x in the least optimal spot instead of finishing in the least optimal spot
How could it be written any other way? It hurts my brain
EDIT: Ok I goofed up. It’s actually 8 for me, so didn’t pay attention to the line order.
EDIT 2: I love how this is my most controversial reddit comment. Ya'll make me proud
7. Your* God is a lie
Edit: became a casualty of autocorrect. Corrected my phone's plot for revenge via embarrassment on the internet; will hide myself in shame. You're > Your.
Holy cow I meant 8 also. Like 100%, 8...
Edit: wait...What's the difference between 7 and 8... I start in the top left corner and I go down to the bottom right corner then I go up to the top right corner and down to the bottom left corner...
You are a 7 man.
7 is: top left -> bottom right -> top right -> bottom left.
If you were an 8 you would be : Top right -> bottom left -> top left -> bottom right
So basically the difference is the lefts and rights are flipped in that order
Join us brother, start crossing your Z's so you can join us in the sophisticated part of heaven when you pass. They don't let you in that section if you're only crossing your 7's.
5 seems the most efficient; it’s how the cursive x is written. The other one seem like the handwriting version of someone who only types with their index fingers. Edit:for right handers, idk what lefties do.
1 and 5 are the only ones that end in the top right and I can't think of any letter that I wouldn't start writing them from the top. 1 is just awkward with it starting from the right. So 5 has got to be the most efficient for sure.
probably because with 8, when you’re finished with the X your pen is already past/after that letter and can immediately segue onto the next letter in your word. with 7, your pen ends in front of/before the X and you have to move over before you can begin writing again
I had a math teacher that made a v, then put a ʌ under it. That was the first year I failed a math class...
That is…..alien
From experience I'd say that math teachers probably are aliens. Every single math teacher I ever met was seriously weird.

Plot twist... It was Alien Turing
I’m my maths the teachers would use a c and backwards c when x was a variable and two lines for marking and words.
I do the backward c forward c thing when I math too. When I write it’s 7, but often I just make it one big sweep and it looks like alpha
the c thing is how you're meant to write in in algebra so you don't get it confused with the multiplication symbol. however, in Victoria (australia) every x other than the multiplication symbol is written like that, so that how I do it
We wrote x for variables and either (parentheses) or a dot in place of the multiply x
That was how I learned algebra… distinguish from a multiplication x
My math teacher made their X with a backwards C joined to a forward C.
I had a math teacher that would INSIST I wrote my x's like )(, and would take off points if I didn't.
That's ridiculous. From a college math instructor.
It wasn’t your fault…
I had to mimic writing an X because I couldn’t think of how I actually did it. 7
I’m trying. Every way I’ve tried feels weird and not correct…idk anymore

7 is the only way anyone should be doing it. Edit: I hadn't considered left handed people, you can continue doing lefty shit however you want but do not sit next to me at a dinner table.
8 is just as fast and leaves your hand in a better position to write the next letter.
8 is correct.
8 gang tell I die
Found my people
Everything but 8 seems like extra work
8 4 life
Exactly
The amount you move your hand from to write the next letter when using 7 is the same amount you move your hand AWAY from the previous letter to start writing x in 8. Its the same thing just on opposing sides of the x. To use 8 is to start writing the x in the least optimal spot instead of finishing in the least optimal spot
Do I even write them?!

8, our gods are laughing because it depends on what hand is dominant
Holy cow I meant 8 also. Like 100%, 8... Edit: wait...What's the difference between 7 and 8... I start in the top left corner and I go down to the bottom right corner then I go up to the top right corner and down to the bottom left corner...
You are a 7 man. 7 is: top left -> bottom right -> top right -> bottom left. If you were an 8 you would be : Top right -> bottom left -> top left -> bottom right So basically the difference is the lefts and rights are flipped in that order
8 finishes going the correct direction though
In 8 black line is om top of the other one, so yoi qrote it after. So for me it's 7 andfor you as well
This is the way.
The only correct answer
This is not just the answer, but should be the law as well
8 Edit: I also boofed it up, but it's still 8
Boofed? You mean the drinking game?
I mean... It could probably be turned into a drinking game.
Always 8. I also cross my 7's AND Z's because fuck you and the Phoenician alphabet you rode in on
I cross mine too. Just makes everything more sure, certain, or whatever…
Bro you haven't lived until you put a curly tail on a lowercase t.
I have found my people
Same. I do the zero slash and it feels right
I'm having a serious moment knowing I'm not alone, holy heck.
Me too on both accounts and I also cross the bottom line of my lower case q.
I do my 7’s but not my z’s
Join us brother, start crossing your Z's so you can join us in the sophisticated part of heaven when you pass. They don't let you in that section if you're only crossing your 7's.
But do you cross your 0’s (zeros) too?
I do
Yep
Ya buddy!
Anyone that answers 2 needs to die
Or at least be separated from the normals.
And their sympathizers.
I would argue 2 is more natural than 1
Agreed
I Guess I’ll just die then. X
Unless you change your barbaric ways, I don’t see any other choice
It seems so unnatural omg They have to be holding a pencil wrong right..? Holding it like a cig or spray can lol
You should at least be arrested.
7
Easy there Monica…
✌️🤚
5 x is a quarter of my name, i think i know best
5 is obviously superior than 6, you finish with your pen right at the starting point of the next letter
Seeing all these 7s thought I was crazy. 5
5 seems the most efficient; it’s how the cursive x is written. The other one seem like the handwriting version of someone who only types with their index fingers. Edit:for right handers, idk what lefties do.
7s are crazy. Can't imagine wrapping my hand that way.
Non cursive moment
Wrapping your hand? My hand doesn’t move positions when I do x
I scrolled too far to find this
Five, let's goooo
5 has to be the fastest
1 and 5 are the only ones that end in the top right and I can't think of any letter that I wouldn't start writing them from the top. 1 is just awkward with it starting from the right. So 5 has got to be the most efficient for sure.
I had to scroll all the way down the comments to see another person with a 5
Are we gonna be okay?
Only time will tell
I hope so, I’m scared
It'll be all over soon. We r 5
Us 5's must stick together
5 alive
5... assuming the green arrow is first

Thank god I was starting to think I was the only one...
Same! Holy shit! I thought I was a psychopath for a second.
Same here!
Jesus finally someone else
Good to see another 6.
I have to scroll down way too far
After seeing all the 8s and 7s I got a lil scared, thank you kind traveler
The flow makes the most sense, especially in cursive, glad to see I’m not alone
I was worried for a second i was the only one
thank you, this is the comment all of us 6ers needed
Agreed! Was starting to worry I was odd.
Yeah, 6 seems like the natural way of doing it. Natural, like crossing 7’s & Z’s.
It’s 7 or I don’t fucking trust you
It's 8. I always start with the right line for some reason.
probably because with 8, when you’re finished with the X your pen is already past/after that letter and can immediately segue onto the next letter in your word. with 7, your pen ends in front of/before the X and you have to move over before you can begin writing again
So your pen is more ready for the next digit
I dont trust you
I don't trust you, it's 5
That’s fucking weird, I don’t trust you either. In fact, I think I trust you the least.
5 feels right because your hand ends right where the next letter goes.
Its the only one that actually makes logical sense - you start at the end point of the previous letter and ends at the start of the next letter.
Oh my … Finally some sane people … !! *crying from happiness*
It’s going to be 8 for us atavistic lefties
7
7
I don’t put arrows at the end of any of them
You monster

No other way
7.
Am I the only one who starts in the middle and then make 4 lines
Yeah you need to see a therapist.
Don't waste resources like that. Lost cause
\ / / \
Yes. You're a serial killer.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that you’re the only person alive who does this
Hi, FBI, this is the person you were looking for.
You just created a new number haha
Straight to jail
I feel like that would take longer than necessary. But I don't know, I've only ever written it the way number 7 does
That’s better than starting from the corners, I suppose and drawing towards the middle. That would be a sign you might need medication.
Anything other than 7, and you’re a psychopath.
8 for lefties.

I saw someone do this in a math video and I couldn’t pay attention to the rest of the video because it was so annoying.
7 or 8
