Puzzle: A rope is wrapped around the Earths equator. If you add just 1 meter of rope, how high above the surface can you lift it uniformly?

Just tried this and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip!

Euclids proof that there are infinitely many primes is elegant in its simplicity. What proof blew your mind?

Couldnt agree more. Wish more people understood this before jumping in.

Adding to this: you can also try a different approach that worked for me...

Derivatives are slopes. Integrals are areas. The fundamental theorem connects them. But WHY does it work? Lets discuss the intuition.

Interesting perspective. I never thought about it that way before.

I wish I had known this sooner. Would have saved me a lot of trouble.

Anybody have a link with more details? Would love to read up on this.

The eternal philosophical debate. Do mathematical truths exist independently or are they human constructs?
