Does anyone have an answer to this challenge?

Some TI enthusiast created this:

What's your answer?

My response is

???????

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, or how it's supposed to be a challenge.

Does it mean they love their TI, and it loves them back?

If so, it's odd that that actually looks more like a 49G+.

Or is that part of the joke, somehow? I don't know; I don't get it.

Well, ah -- yes -- its quite some kind of scrap: the line above the display is clear if you read "Hard Laugh Instruments". The line in the display (I <3 YOU) needs some deep knowledge of such emoticons like 'Female' >- 'Winking Devil' >-> and 'Furious' >-<

The first and the last part just are me&U, nothing special so far. The "<" is the lesser-sign, lesser stands for "evil" (see 'Female' and 'Furious' above, we just choose the lesser of two evils), which - as it stands in conjuction with "3" - must be read as "evil-do". Makes no sense? Yep, because you have to know that "3" stands for "three cheers". Now you may read it as a whole sentence: "I will evil-do (violate) you until you did 3 cheers."

Seems your TI enthusiast was a bit angry.

Ciao.....Mike :)
