I was lucky enough to be his follower for a little while. He posted the below problem for which I had an extremely convoluted and inelegant solution. Despite him being old and without much time left he worked with me through my convoluted solution.https://twitter.com/CutTheKnotMath/status/971384482254254080 …

He didn't have to do that. You can see how much time and effort he put in for some rando on the internet. I really respected that. He rekindled my interest in math with his problems, which were great. Was really sad and guilty when I learned he passed.https://twitter.com/CutTheKnotMath/status/972234423126188035 …
