I would like to quickly point out to our readers that Jason Dyer is currently hosting the 43rd Carnival of Mathematics and that the Carnival lists Todd’s POW-11 (Preserving Sums of Squares) post as one of its entries!

Carnival is an apt word for what would happen if a bunch of mathematicians got together in the same room!!!!!

Well, you should try it some time. It can be fun and stimulating to be in a room of mathematicians, especially if you’re able to follow the discussions, but it’s rarely a Bacchanalian adventure. At least that’s true as far as my own experience goes!
