I hate how every article written about it seemed hell bent into trying to make it look like it was some random weeb who channeled his love for anime to come up with a proof when most people in that thread were mathematicians who knew exactly what they were trying to prove. The board is literally called Science & Math. Fucking journalists, man.

*weeb mathematicians who knew exactly what they were trying to prove and channelled their love for Haruhi to come up with a proof

Well, yeah, it's 4chan, that's a given. What I'm trying to say is that it wasn't some Good Will Hunting situation. It was competent people doing what they do for a living.

Yeah. Good Will Hunting scripts make money...

I'm also not a fan of the title. They didn't "stumble upon" the proof, they walked directly towards it lol.
