Goldilocks visits the three polar bears and tries out their bicycles.
Her conclusions:
Polar papa's bike: too big; ride bumpy.
Polar mama's bike: too small; can't even make it go.
Polar cub's bike: ahh -- just right.
Upon further investigation, she finds that the cub's bike is the only one with
SQUARE WHEELS!
So, what does the bears' ice floe look like?
Now, you don't need to show me all the mathematics; I've done it before.
Just one or two key words in a short sentence is enough. If you mail me
your one or two key words, I'll post a list later for everyone to admire.
By the way, the key words are official mathematical terms.
Warning. Although there is a "scratch head until aha" aspect to this,
I don't think you'll get there until you do some serious mathematical
pencil pushing.
