A graph shows maths skills rising from basic counting in primary school to advanced calculus at university, then dropping sharply to Excel in a job. The joke exaggerates how formal mathematics peaks during education while many workplaces mainly require spreadsheet skills. It is used as a humorous reaction to the gap between studying advanced theory and doing practical office work.
