the solution to any problem any could ever have That's a pretty tall claim to make. Once upon a time people thought irrationals and transcendentals like pi and e didn't even exist. It wasn't until the past century that people realized abstract algebra and its ilk had practical applications. The same goes for chaos theory and fractals as well. Admittedly it's hard for me to envision a world where notions of countability will ever have real-world uses, but I also consider calling it "a fun maths game" rather reductionist, and frankly, poor taste (especially if you're going to say something like "intrinsic truth or falsity"). Give him three pence, since he must make gain out of what he learns.
