Yeah, it's a fun meme, but I just used circle search and Google AI told me the answer is -2.98127. Isn't the future fun?

One would expect a positive integer solution with four significant figures but that doesn't appear to be the case.

This is what happens when people who are functionally innumerate have seen some "cool" math symbols that "look difficult" that they don't understand at even a surface level and then they try to make a meme that makes them look smarter than they are.

Or he just has a girlfriend in a lower-level maths that he knows won't even get past the partial fraction decomposition.

Love me some partial fractions... used to do a partial fraction problem with my calc BC students during the week before Christmas that would take between 2 and 3 days of class to complete. It required a system in 6 variables to do the decomposition and so much other fun stuff in the process (completing squares in denominators, long division within terms), but eventually I decided it was too much time to spend on one problem, so I got rid of it.

This is a simpler integration that my students made for a class T-shirt a few (ok, maybe a bit more than a few) years back that would have actually worked as a pin, but isn't nearly as interesting...

2008. It might take you guys a few days, but it took the Google AI that I carry in my pocket about.9 seconds.....
