IQ is imperfect and has many issues that haven't been accounted for, nor should it be extended to represent all of intelligence, and many tests claiming to test IQ are completely pseudoscience, if even that, but the general concept isn

I think there is a special trick that happens many places in math. When you are given a visual, and then some integral or derivative is applied to it, you need to pause and make sure to truly include that in the mental model. Often I find

I attempted to do a cut in 4D to create 16 pieces, but I was only managed to have 8. The 8 pieces before I ate them and the 0 pieces after, for 8 total. On a more serious (ish) note, can you cut a 3D pie in 4D space? If I go with a 2D cir
