nwhikerDh and I are nerds. Always were, always will be.
I remember being a young teen and hearing about the Four Color Theorem. Bah! said I. That can't be true. Surely there is a way to draw a map....
There isn't.
I spent many many many hours trying.
Dh? Pretty much the same.
Now I'm not sure how it came about, but we talked about that the other day (probably after giving Perry a tape measure and a bunch of circles -cans, bowls, jars, and the like-, and telling him to calculate π (*)), and AC said... 'Of course there has to be a way to draw a map...'.
There are currently maps all over her scratch paper.
She and dh are currently reading up on the Riemann Hypothesis. She's confused. No, really?
(*) He came up with a number between 2.98 and 3.54, with a large cluster of results at about 3.21. Not bad. I think he took about 15 data points.
