I have just explained to my wife ( @virtuosew ) a maths thing that's easily within reach of pretty much anyone's understanding, and she summarised it as:
Burble burble burble ... more burble, then burble some more, and ...
TA-DAH !!!
Thing is ... she's not wrong. I can see no idea at all why this is true.
The conjecture is not mine, and I don't have permission to share it, but it's just bonkers.
Utterly bonkers.
I need to go to bed.
I thought pretty much all wives reacted that way to our interests that are not also one of their core interests, and they just humor us a lot.
@dougmerritt Thing is, this conjecture is really easy to explain, and she was following along quite happily. Then once I had enough to state the conjecture she did a huge double-take and came out with exactly the right reaction.
It's just crazy.

Well that's all very intriguing. See if you can get permission to share it, then!
