@chillicampari I've got 99 problems and a *double checks* sorry, what I meant to say is I have 100 problems.

@chillicampari @mcc

100 small problems collectively 2^n times the size of a large problem, and if you're lucky n is not 100 but it's definitely >1

@mcc 3 small problems in a trenchcoat?

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@mcc Graham's number of problems (both interpretations of this are equal in count)

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@mcc (for those unfamiliar, it's one of the largest specific numbers ever used in a real mathematical proof)

@mcc @chillicampari would you rather fight one horse-sized problem or a hundred problem sized ducks

@chrisamaphone @mcc @chillicampari Came to the replies just for this 💯

@mcc @chillicampari [extremely boss voice] you mean you have 100 *opportunities*
