I may have crossed a line.
Reddit does frequent Secret Santa style gift exchanges. The most recent one was for Halloween where you could elect to receive a trick or a treat. The guy I got matched up with selected a trick, sooooooo I stewed for a while and came up with what I thought was a pretty good trick.

I’ve done a few gift exchanges and they’ve been great fun. Usually I’d recommend going international, but I dunno how well Halloween resonates overseas… Either way, DO IT.
So the Internet took an interest in my childhood the other day.
As of late I’ve been a huge fan of Reddit, something I know John has mentioned time and again as being one of the best things on the Internet.

I said something to the effect of “oh, you should head on reddit and check out the math subreddit.

Cause I’m posting it here.
