@petrilaarne @ColinTheMathmo It's got a certain Ramsey theory feel to it, maybe something that would succumb to the probabilistic method.
I quite liked @ColinTheMathmo’s entry to #BigMathOff: a simple, initially counterintuitive result that becomes intuitively obvious after a quick think! I wonder how many totally different ways there are to prove it.
If you haven’t yet, go read about it and beautiful Penrose tilings: http://aperiodical.com/2018/07/the-big-internet-math-off-round-1-edmund-harriss-v-colin-wright/
The Big Internet Math-off - Round 1, match 4 involves me with an unbelievable fact about playing cards (or selections in general) versus Penrose Tilings. Read them both here, then vote:

All that glitters has a high refractive index.
It turns out to be harder than I expected to give my applique vessel a #crochet bow wave...
There's a sentence I never imagined having to write!
Call me picky, but this usage of "literally" always bothers me, especially from people who you would hope would be precise in their use of language. Not a hill I would die on, but one on which I would get very annoyed. And do.

It's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end.
Match 2 of the #bigmathoff is finely balanced, 72 to 70 - your vote could make the difference :

Wow! Samuel Hansen vs Paul Taylor is exactly 50:50 !!!

The graphs of cos(x) and tan(x) intersect at right angles - who knew ?!? More, have a look at the gradients - *very* interesting.
Currently neck and neck for round 1, match 1, the great internet math off is underway. Vote here :

Please take great care out in the hills and mountains of Wales today. The heatwave is prematurely hatching the eggs of the Welsh dragon. If you come across a baby dragon just leave it.
DO NOT TAKE IT HOME!
Dragons do not make good pets, they very quickly get too hot to handle :

Do not argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
In short, VAR has the potential to wipe 'simulation' out of the game. It will take time - let's see if they do it.
