With proper punctuations: There are three words in “the English language”. The other half of it is supposed to be a misdirection.

But yeah, the original joke was really bad in the first place. I don’t blame the second guy for his reaction.

It literally explains it in the comic? People who communicate badly and then act smug when they’re misunderstood are annoying. The other user is saying that the same applies to the OPs post; because the angles don’t match the graphic, they’re communicating badly

Yes but what is communicated badly ? What did the riddle man mean by the three words in english language that end in “gry” ?

It’s a geometry puzzle. Of course they aren’t going to get out a protractor to carefully get the 80° drawn to scale. The point of these puzzles isn’t that we actually want to know what the angle is. The point is to navigate a maze of logic. (A very short maze in this particular case.)

Yes, and in this case, the puzzle was poorly presented and likely unsolvable.
