Rose: "Let's say I found 20 people, and put them in a room with food and water for a month, and asked them to prove geometry." Rose: "I'm a cult leader, and they're all committed to me."

Hard stuff is hard to figure out." // Later, proving that sqrt(2) is irrational by contradiction, reaching the crux of the proof. Rose: "Now, a strange sense of weirdness -- cue the "Woo-o woo-o" music -- descends upon you."
