As someone who reads comments first, I’d like to nominate this is the most confusing article ever.

Top comments includes, comments on a university course, pancake recipes and questions about basketball matches against the dead musician Prince.

>The notion of “concrete mathematics” was meant as an antidote, of sorts, to new trends in “abstract mathematics” (a.k.a. “new math.”)

I thought it was because it was a course covering a combination of discrete and continuous topics?

Do we have to beat Prince at a game of basketball first?

The real unlock for pancakes is making the batter the night before. Cold batter from the fridge gives you fluffier pancakes than fresh batter, and you don't have to measure anything at 8am.

Disappointingly, the article does not contain a cool household appliance that will dispense infinite pancakes at the touch of a button.
