I am trying to compile a list of mind-boggling/curious historical facts in mathematics that will inspire and attract young people (9–11 years old) to the discipline of Mathematics. Do you have one fact to share? Multidisciplinary historical facts are welcome!

    Specific mention of mathematics is missing from this article but there is plenty of related inspiration here. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adi8737 – DJohnson Jul 09 '23 at 11:10
