So easy, a caveman could do it.
I’m just saying. He looks like the guys on the Gieco commercials.

I remember a qustion from a psych professor in a psych class in college.....
Who is smarter, the Harvard Ph. D or the chief of a pigmy tribe in the forest?
Of course, the answer was from me, “Unable to determine”.
All of the idiots in the class automatically said, “The Harvard Ph. D.”. :-)

OK, so long as you agree with me that:
IF a guy can't throw out a first pitch without lookin’ like a girlie-mon,
And IF he can't run a country anywhere but into the ground,
THEN he can still be a Commie Doofus.
OK?

Actually, I first studied this conjecture about forty years ago. I was surprised when I read this article that it had not been solved long ago. I agree with you - this seems rather obvious to me in a topological sense.

Always amazes me...He solved it...Hundreds checked it out and agree....which in reality means each was capable of the solutionFinding a proof to a proposition in mathematics can be a very difficult task. Following a proof is one thing. Coming up with the proof in the first place is another thing. Just because you can follow a proof does not imply the ability to come up with it. These are two different skills.

I go to conventions for a specialized earth-science group with lots of brainiac types. One of the wives once claimed “It’s odd going to a convention where everyone looks like the Unabomber”.

The topological conundrum essentially states that any three-dimensional space without holes in it is equivalent to a stretched sphere.Well, that then means any three-dimensional space with a hole in it is equivalent to a stretched donut.
...and I'll durn sure take the million!

Its odd going to a convention where everyone looks like the Unabomber.
As long as everyone didn't smell like him.

Didn't notice the smell. But it was always refreshing to sit with someone with people skills!
