Not when you haven’t got a complete moron at the helm slapping tariffs on everything he can think of. Here’s an example from a first world country (78p if you cba to click): https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/fyffes-bananas/115455355

If you divide it by itself and add one, you can do that infinitely many times and get a prime every time. Works for all the primes.

Well I for one would be delighted to cross 35 years of software engineering with a maths hobby but I can hardly find anything.

The only place I did find declared that I didn’t have enough maths without even seeing me or saying what kind of maths I would need for the role. From the JD it didn’t sound too tricky: pathfinding for construction robots.

Yeah but a mushroom’s such a fungi to be with.

They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain “saw” the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I’ve done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.

The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn’t really there. We’re used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it’s 3D.

Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?
