    TG suggested the solution by putting the name of the theorem into the title, and of course I couldn't resist looking it up. The proof is a little tricky.

    Reminds me of when my grandpa turned 100 and threw away his legos.

    The boxes said ages 3-99, and he was always such a rule follower.

    I don't understand how anybody could do what these people did to their pet.

    And they sit and wait, and wait, and wait . . .

    I wonder if they can pinpoint just why it is so minor for the young, and becomes so much worse for people who are older, but in no way elderly.

    It seems to be such a mysterious and weird disease.

    Mine sounded like some kind of hangover of 90s wussrock, so I tried to emulate the style. Hey, everybody, it's the early 90s and Photoshop added this new thing called "drop shadow" as a filter style!!

    Prisoners of Geography Ten Maps that explain the world has an excellent chapter on China that helps in understanding the “why” here. Maybe it was somewhere else that I read that one strategy is to migrate non Muslims to the region to breed out the “dangerous” element.

    @Klaus said in Puzzle time - square or circle?:

    @Axtremus your solution looks promising, too, but you also made a very trivial error near the end.

    Ah, indeed I have, that’s when the tawny port kicked in. 😄

    Earlier this week, a federal judge released documents showing that the Department of Justice was investigating a "bribery conspiracy scheme" this past summer. The names of the suspects were redacted and no one has been charged with a crime.

    The status of the investigation is unknown.

    In a statement on Wednesday, a DOJ official told Business Insider that "No government official was or is currently a subject or target of the investigation disclosed in this filing."
