While the meme originally was not a Loss edit, at some point in the meme's development, a variation on the template which put the image's equations in the classic Loss pattern became the defacto meme for variations in the future.

A quick look at our image gallery for Confused Math Lady confirms that multiple Loss edits have been posted across social media by people with no idea of the layers to their meme.
JkScruf ended his thread by concluding that whoever created the first Loss edit of Confused Math Lady did it so well that 'the entire internet fell for it and no one was the wiser.' Drake casino tournaments.

About
Vib-Ribbon (ビブリボン Bibu Ribon) is a 1999 rhythm video game developed by NanaOn-Sha (known for developing PaRappa The Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy Texas casino gambling. ) and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game features a vectorgraphic rabbit Vibri wandering through the eponymous dimension or 'Music World' while dodging the incoming obstacles.
History
Vib-Ribbon was originally released in Japan on December 12th, 1999 and later in Europe on September 1st, 2000. Even though the original release was never available in North America, it was re-released on PlayStation Network in 2014 after a Sony executive name-dropped it while introducing Mortal Kombat X. The game spawned two sequels Mojib-Ribbon (which focuses on rap music and calligraphy) and Vib-Ripple (involves jumping into images like a trampoline while revealing a 'peta character' or hidden objects). However, they were never released outside Japan.
Gameplay
The game focuses on guiding the main protagonist Vibri to dodge the obstacles as the stage progresses and the difficulty increases depending on each course (Bronze, Silver and Gold courses). If the player misses or presses the wrong button, Vibri will get injured and the more damage she takes, the more the entire level will look like a scribbly mess. After 9 hits, she will devolve into a frog, then a worm, and finally it will lead to a 'Game Over' sequence where Vibri will either break down in tears, scream at the player out of frustration or start doing sit-ups while saying 'We need more practice!' Also, the game features the ability to play custom CDs that will randomly generate levels depending on the music tempo while the game runs on its own.
