If this is correct, the name Enflo is going to mentioned in the same breath as Newton, Descartes, Pascal, Euler and other seriously consequential mathematicians.

I am very poor a math and logic, being left-handed. Nevertheless, articles like this fascinate me and pique my curiousity.

Meh. My cat, Mr. Whiskers, solved this intricate math problem years ago.
But he decided to take a nap on a window sill instead of publishing his results.

For years: pi r squared troubled me...

Then, one day, I solved the mystery: pie is round...

contentment washed over me...and gave me peace...

The truth is out there...
