When you're multilingual, you'd switch between languages on the fly, mid-sentence even, just because the words in other language come to your mind quicker, seem to better match nuances, etc.

As I see it, the name fits perfectly. If the superellipse is a square at n -> inf and a circle at n = 2, then in-between... welp, a squircle.

I was involved in the 99,999th and the 100,000th one in my FQA days.

We were being onboarded, they were just for demo and were promptly deleted. No one cared about the Cool Numbers.

And a proof by "counting something":

1 + 2 + ... + n = n(n+1)/2

2 divides n(n+1), n(n+1) = 2m

7 * n^3 + n =

2*(3*n^3 + n) + n^3 - n =

2*(3*n^3 + n) + n(n+1)(n-1) =

2*(3*n^3 + n + m(n-1))

Congrats on finding time! Maybe this will push me to get back to my nib stash, ha.

Got any experience with adapting fountain pen inks for calligraphy?
