Thanks for posting this! Very fascinating.

I’d never heard of a mathematical “conjecture” before.

I sent this to my math teacher sister. She teaches middle school kids in Baltimore who still struggle mightily with the concept of “one-half” after a full year of math instruction.

I thought for a minute to demonstrate “1/2” by using the example of the their peanut butter sandwich that their mom made them for lunch and that she cut in half, corner to corner, but then these chitlin’s most likely don’t bring their own lunches to school..
