    I am finally doing something I should have done long ago: compiling a list of some of my favorite math questions. I have 55 so far, and I'm going to try to make it to 100. I'm titling it, appropriately enough, "More Questions Than Answers." (100 more, to be precise.)

    I work on AR and VR, so I experience a lot of new art. This is one of the first pieces that I consider in a new form.

    In order to determine whether two events A and B are independent, do I need to know BOTH that P(B|A) = P(B) and that P(A|B) = P(A), or will just one suffice? I think each one implies the other, but that would go against my intuition.

    You, optimistic: Maybe the gun debate will proceed in a somewhat sensible way this time. Me, realistic: lol

    What do Utah parents have that the rest of us don't? A law that says they're not negligent if they let their kids walk or play outside. It passed both houses there unanimously and just awaits the governor's signature.

    This is the right-wing version of progressives arguing that the NRA has “blood on its hands” or is a “terrorist organization.” It’s false and inflammatory. It slanders the character of your ideological opponents.

    Putting aside politics & policy, minors who have been through this much trauma should be talking to mental health professionals at least as much as they are to anchors & reporters. This kind of grief is not to be trifled with.

    This is a worthwhile, informative, and thoughtful thread—so pretty much the exact opposite of what is happening on CNN, and much more deserving of your time.

    But the best part (for me, anyway) was that instead of saying, "UGH, I never want to see another Latin Square again as long as I live," they said things like "I wonder if there are any patterns," and, "I wonder if that's the only solution," and "I wonder why 6 was so hard!" [3/3]

    Then, after about 30 minutes of frustrating trial-and-error, A. Ward '18 and E. Novicki '18 found one! We all checked, double-checked, and triple-checked, but it works! There was much rejoicing. [2/3]

    In MRAD, we had found 4x4, 5x5, 7x7, 8x8, and 9x9 "Super" Latin Squares. We had conjectured that 6x6 was not possible, but if it was, we wanted to know WHY! Some decided to look for a 10x10, 11x11, or 12x12 to add to our observations. [1/3]

    Craziness: Apparently, if p/q is a convergent of the continued fraction of sqrt(2), then (pq)^2 is both square and triangular. Specifically, it's the (pq)th square number, and the (p^2-1)th triangular number. +5 years since doing & I'm still discovering stuff.
