A man with dark hair, glasses, and a green shirt looks up at a glowing yellow-orange light in the corner, representing God. He asks, "Hey, God, do you care whether there exist any odd numbers that are equal to the sum of their proper divisors?" God answers, "No." The man then asks, "And if you had a beard, would you shave it?" God answers, "Yes." A caption reads: "Proved: God is not a mathematician." The joke references two classic unsolved/self-referential math problems (odd perfect numbers and the barber paradox), with God's flat answers defying both. Votey: the glowing oval representing God adds, "And fuck Rubik's Cubes."
