The introduction was very relatable and kept me hooked. It does a good job of demonstrating examples. It was also quite funny. And, no, my kitchen did not become messy!

More explanation or some sort of visualization would have been really helpful. Still attesting, though.

Was very nice, easy, and simple to fall, but I think some more technical details would've been nice

Cool, but maybe make a visual proof/picture of what you're saying?

OK, having to submit all feedback twice. I just called this one 'cute but [too] short'

It's just an article, there's little math explanation and it lacks visualization.

“Here’s something cool I learned in class today” is good conversation, but that’s often the intro to some larger investigation or presentation. I like the Fruit Ninja reference, and I wonder whether you could have then demonstrated why it was true. Particularly given the evolution over time, it’s not obvious why it would still hold.
