@Violinknitter huh, I always thought it was the abstract mathematics that made it great.
@rbmath @Violinknitter ok, now I really need to read/watch it ... um, which one are we talking about, exactly?

@brahms @Violinknitter I don't remember all of them, but here is a quick write up I found: https://maths-from-the-past.org/alice-and-algebra/

There's a lot more out there on it. If you're looking for the math content, I'd read the original or the book that violinknitter linked, Martin Gardner is amazing.
