He recently won the Maroon Grant for his revolutionary 1-page paper that offers 3 different proofs of the Theorem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof 1: Proof by induction on n. Base case: you visited the A-Level with family and\/or friends during O-Week. Inductive case: By the Chicago Winter Theorem, anyone grinding at the A-Level is condemned to work at A Level again, so n implies n+1. QED.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof 2: Proof by pigeonhole principle. There are 4 key study spots on campus (A Level, Harper, Mansueto, and all other floors of the Reg) and you know more than 4 people, so at least 1 of them must be on the A-Level. QED.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof 3: Proof by contradiction. Assume you don&#8217;t know anyone at A-Level. Then, you ask someone if you can take an unused chair from their table. Therefore, you know someone at A-Level, which contradicts our initial assumption. QED.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a press release, President Paul Alivisatos stated, &#8220;We are proud of Claude&#8217;s interdisciplinary breakthrough, which spans disciplines including pure mathematics, behavioral psychology and sociology\u2014it is heartening to see students find novel applications for well-established theorems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are 4 key study spots on campus (A Level, Harper, Mansueto, and all other floors of the Reg) and you know more than 4 people, so at least 1 of them must be on the A-Level.
