The Central Limit Theorem... that's a good one. Come to think of it, I felt enlightened by it even despite a teacher who wanted to be an actuary but had to teach AP Stat instead because she couldn't pass her actuarial exam, in addition to all the usual horrors bemoaned in the Lockhart essay that was posted the other day. I suppose that suggests that under more organic learning conditions, it would have been quite exciting.
