Window.
The joke “1+1 = window” is a visual or shape-based pun that plays on how the symbols of the equation can be arranged to resemble a window. Here’s the breakdown:
The number “1” stands for one vertical line.
The “+” symbol is made of two intersecting lines, one vertical and one horizontal.
The equals sign “=” consists of two horizontal lines.
If you place two “1” symbols vertically side by side and then add the “+” symbol above them, followed by the “=” symbol above the “+”, the arrangement can look like a simple, abstract illustration of a window. The vertical lines represent the sides of the window, the intersection of the “+” symbol forms the cross-section, and the horizontal lines of the “=” symbol cap the top of the window.
3.
The phrase “One plus one can equal three without protection” is a colloquial and humorous way to suggest that if two people (the “one plus one”) have unprotected sex, they may conceive a child, resulting in three individuals.
