In what might be the most Internet sequence of events ever, a Twitter post featuring a screenshot of an Instagram post of another tweet featuring an image of a physics assignment with a [Spongebob meme](https://time.com/5516450/spongebob-super-bowl/ "undefined") doodled on it, has gone viral. In the original tweet, which has been favorited over 76,000 times and retweeted 17,000 times, the student finishes a complex problem with a sketch of the Spongebob meme where an indifferent Spongebob is seen leaving, accompanied by the caption, “Aight, Imma head out.” The Twitter user who shared it, @brwnbabe\_, wrote that the assignment came from a “real-life college student” of her brother, who’s a physics professor. The tweet was then shared on Instagram where it went viral, garnering over 129,000 likes on the platform, according to the screenshot. One thing’s for certain — the answer to any challenge is probably a Spongebob meme.
