Patrick Rothfuss

I hope you read his blog. In fact, I hope you read his books.  If not, you should. Anyways, in his latest post he says:
They e-mail me with their theories and their hopes. They want X to hook up with Y. They want Z to get his comeuppance. They want such and such story tied up in a certain way….
As a mathematician, it irks me to see variables unsolved for. So I'll solve for Z, just for fun. I'll leave X and Y for now because it's the summer. And I'm lazy.  See: unsolved Price is Right problem.


Theorem: Z=Ambrose. ■

Proof: Duh. ■
