I only wanted to highlight how, when most people hear math, they put themselves in a particular mindset to "solve" a math problem. Although you can equate each number to the number of loops and then do simple addition, the most simplistic way of solving is simply "counting the circles". And yes, I will come over to your apartment for tea. Fine, then take my non-sensical ramblings and ignore them.

And simplicity is in the eye of the beholder, at least to some extent. And that's hardly a good reason for why "the application of patterns proves to be incredible". I'm not sure that that even makes sense. I'm also being a nitpicking jerk here because I needed to leave a comment so I could remind you to <em>come over to my apartment</em>.

Its simplicity is where the trick comes in. For that reason, the application of patterns proves to be incredible. Ultimately its not math at all. Its simplicity is where the trick comes in.
