A supremely amazing collection! Succinctly written, and a joy to read. The curation is fantastic. Some would disagree with the choices, but the task was herculean. (e.g. geometric group theory is not really represented there - but one can't expect to have all of mathematics in 60 pages!)
I ended up going through the list, categorizing these theorems into know/don't know/should know categories. Time well spent.

Mandatory "Hey, there's a typo there" note:
In #77: HOMFLYPT polynomial's list of authors is missing Y: David N. Yetter, a professor in Kansas State University. Hope this omission will be fixed!
I learned knot theory and did research with Yetter in 2007 (which resulted in a paper on Vassiliev Invariants, a subject also mentioned in #77); that was a pivotal point in my life.
Besides mathematics, Yetter's other major interests, to my knowledge, are Orthodox Christianity and anime.
