          @RZ923 Ohhhhh wow... it will be a long time before I start learning algebraic topology, so I won't get to learn the Hairy Ball Theorem for a while yet... 🙂

            I like the way Wikipedia explains the hairy ball theorem "you can't comb a hairy ball flat without creating a cowlick." It's simple enough for most people to understand. Also, Wiki says that the hairy ball theorem is also called the hedgehog theorem, but when I search up the hedgehog theorem, it gives me the hedgehog principle/concept. "The Hedgehog Concept is based on an ancient Greek parable that states, "The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." In the parable, the fox uses many strategies to try to catch the hedgehog. ... Hedgehogs, however, simplify the world and focus on a single, overarching vision, which they then achieve."

                  Also there’s this pun in Chinese that 1 is the laziest number, because of a saying called 一不做,二不休:
                  Pun meaning: 1 never does anything, 2 never rests
                  Actual meaning: you either don’t do something or do it until the end.
                  🙂

                    @RZ923 That's a very nice idiom. 🙂
