The Zach Galifianakis Math meme originates from a memorable scene in the 2009 blockbuster comedy 'The Hangover.' In the scene, the character Alan Garner, portrayed by Galifianakis, uses his unexpected genius to count cards at a blackjack table in Las Vegas. To emphasize his focus, the film overlays complex mathematical equations and floating formulas around his head. Online, this image has become the universal symbol for someone performing intense mental calculations, overthinking a mundane task, or failing to understand a confusing situation. It is frequently used in financial contexts, gaming, or whenever logic seems to defy reality.
