We also promise not to use an

ergograph

to check on how much effort you put into transcribing.

Well, maybe some day it will come back into use. Fashion can be

I'd love to know if there is an AI

algorithm

that can pick the next fashion trend. But it might be too hard.

the way the topics flow and merge and even cross with the anagram word game, it's a lot like an

Escher

artwork.

Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who made woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints, many of which were inspired by mathematics. Despite wide popular interest, for most of his life Escher was neglected in the art world, even in his native Netherlands. He was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. Wikipedia

As a child of a math professor, we always had Escher prints in the house. Some might think his style was unique, eccentric,

erratic

or hard to comprehend, but I was entranced by his art.

I am not at all artistic but I do like math, so I really liked the Escher prints in my math textbook. I think we had some at home too since mom was very artistic.

Certainly Escher was an

icon

for the intersection of art and math.

However, that

art,

although very appropriate for OW, is by Rob Gonsalves rather than Escher.
