Does one of the burgers have ketchup? Is their a rogue pickle slice on one?
It's 15. The goal was to trick people in missing the mug.

However, the answer to the meme is 15 because it take the least amount of assumptions.
That's solution you get with one assumption.
With no assumptions the solution is undefined.

1.66z + 1.66z = 4

I don't think it's an assumption to observe that the mugs are identical.

I don't know about y'all, but in the engineering/science world, we make assumptions all the time
it isn't wrong to make assumptions

"based on observations, it is assumed that the mugs are identical and represent a value of 1, therefore...."

You can't fricking assume going from a double mugged picture to a Single mugged picture defines a 2 going to a 1.
2 mugs = 2 because a burger is 5....not because there are two of them there.

No, there are just two of them in one equation, and one in the other.

See the artist rendering below
Are you convinced that that bulge isn't there? Maybe the mug manufacturer made a defective mug with a bulge that the bar owner was able to purchase half off to serve to the creepy old guy at the end of the bar. Who knows?
