This seems a bit pedantic. I'm certainly not a mathematician but it does seem obvious that you cannot cut a circle into any number of pieces and rearrange it to be a square, as a circle has curves which would prevent you from making the square a solid without gaps


No no; I’m trying to explain that “obviousness” is a bad idea to prove anything...

Like “an infinite te has an infinite branch”...
