A teacher explains a scenario where a deli owner forces customers to buy expensive sandwiches, then sells them at a lower price to employees, making the owner a trillionaire. This is compared to Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO, where the public is forced to buy stock at a high price, then employees sell at a lower price, making Elon a trillionaire through a similar pump and dump scheme.

Making Sense of Proof by Contradiction [pdf]

'contradiction' is not exactly the right word, as we don't directly contradict the initial statement. a proof of p2 = kq2 will have solutions for positive integer q if and only when j is square - but not for 2m2 or 6m2, even though m isn’t prime. this is equivalent to saying that 2q2, which is an odd power of 2, cannot possibly equal 2p2, is
