Mathematical Conundrum or Not? Number Four Let me explain the purpose of these conundrums that I have been posting.
They are here to generate discussion and I don't care if they are paradoxes, contradictions or whatever, just as long as they are meaty enough to get a fruitful discussion going. I also don't care if the side I have aligned myself with is right; I hate it when everyone agrees with one another, it is the most unproductive form of discussion. The purpose of this is to walk away with just a bit more understanding and the paradox is merely the raft we use to cross those waters.
We are at seven pages here now, so I think this one was a good one.
