It‘s just crazy to me that this guy lives around the corner. That should inspire some hope for me I guess, that even people from Vienna can be successful on such a level.

Let R = {X \notin X}, i.e. all sets that do not contain themselves. Now is R \in R? Well this is the case if and only if R \notin R. But this clearly cannot be.

Like the barber that shaves all men not shaving themselves.

Also (Austria) - I live in a shared appartment in Vienna - We cook a lot, consumed about 1800kWh for the year, so 150kWh a month or 5kWh a day. 50kWh a day certainly seems Insane, but then again we have no AC.

which is also not normalized. A referee once told me that - in theory - football fields can be square. I think it was 80m x 80m since 80m is the minimum length and the maximum width. Correct me if I am wrong.
