I don't know about funny, but /sci/ coined a solution to the "haruhi problem". Rather than explaining it (because I'm a mathlet), here's the wikipedia article

>"In September 2011, an anonymous poster on the Science & Math ("/sci/") board of 4chan proved that the smallest superpermutation on n symbols (n ? 2) has at least length n! + (n?1)! + (n?2)! + n ? 3. In reference to the Japanese anime series The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, the problem was presented on the imageboard as "The Haruhi Problem": if you wanted to watch the 14 episodes of the first season of the series in every possible order, what would be the shortest string of episodes you would need to watch?"

Ah, yes...that was the splash this board had those
days. There was great pride there.

We can make that happen again--doesn't matter
what--I am somewhat optimistic of this.

Misuse of coined.
Also, /sci/ didn't. At least actually read the wikipedia statement.
