    I would like to tell you a bit about my favorite theorems, ideas or concepts in mathematics and why I like them so much.
    This time.
    What is...the else function? Or: Counting else.
    Seems like the theorem in the video has not been proven yet! Anyway, the numerical evidence is persuasive so I count it as a theorem :-)

    Super interesting stuff! I wonder how you'd go about proving the formula. Have you ever looked into recursion schemes? I'm a computer scientist, so recursion is basically my butter (with functions as data being my bread xD)
