You're right. It's terrible for mathematicians to be spending time solving silly things that interest them. Pardon me while I return to writing a Game of Life

- xyzzyz 15y agoWhat I actually meant is that almost all mathematical problems are on some level silly, and most of mathematicians solve them precisely because they find them interesting. In this case the silliness is clearly visible to a layman, but in more abstract parts of math one needs to spend quite a lot of time to understands the underlying concepts.
