Simple Set Game Proof Stuns Mathematicians | Quanta Magazine
A new series of papers has settled a long-standing question related to the popular game in which players seek patterned sets of three cards.
Hasnain says:
"Now, however, mathematicians have solved the cap set problem using an entirely different method — and in only a few pages of fairly elementary mathematics. “One of the delightful aspects of the whole story to me is that I could just sit down, and in half an hour I had understood the proof,” Gowers said."
