The 4×6 rectangle of R. T. Curtis
illustrates the geometry of octads —
Curtis splits the 4×6 rectangle into three 4×2 “bricks” —
.
“In fact the construction enables us to describe the octads
in a very revealing manner. It shows that each octad,
other than Λ1, Λ2, Λ3, intersects at least one of these ‘ bricks’ —
the ‘heavy brick’ – in just four points.” . . . .

Dead Poet Joke
From the subtitles of the recent Kristen Stewart film “Underwater” —

00:30:26,144 –> 00:30:27,476
He’d always say
he had a new joke,
428
00:30:27,478 –> 00:30:29,445
and then he’d tell
the same stupid joke.
429
00:30:29,447 –> 00:30:32,785
I was… laughing at that joke.
430
00:30:34,053 –> 00:30:35,685
Yeah, what was it?
431
00:30:35,687 –> 00:30:38,654
What did the fish say when
it bumped into the brick wall?
April 11 was the dies natalis , in the Catholic sense, of John Horton Conway.

“All the schools of philosophy, from ancient Greece to the Enlightenment
encyclopedists, have dreamt of one day arriving at total and definitive
knowledge, a knowledge that encompasses the world. Indeed, the dream
lives on in the minds of some scientists today.”
