'Strands hint' accidentally solves decades-old math problem; mathematicians furious they have to update textbooks.
AITA for thinking this is just a massive TL;DR from the universe? Some bored Redditor on r/StrandsHint was trying to figure out a Wordle-like puzzle and, I kid you not, stumbled upon a previously unproven theorem in number theory. They posted the solution as a joke in a comment chain, and now actual math professors are having a collective meltdown because the proof is apparently sound but also uses a typo from a viral meme. The academic journal that rejected the original problem 40 years ago is now frantically emailing this person for a formal paper. The universe is a garbage fire and I'm just here for the popcorn. 🔥
