This post was interesting, though less interesting than I expected based on the title.

We changed the title to the subtitle for obvious reasons.
Is that really better? On the one hand, it makes it more specific what the example domain is ("mattress flipping" vs. "the bedroom"), on the other, it makes it less specific what its being used as an example of ("mathematics" vs. "group theory".)

It seems to me that the change is a net loss in terms of useful information about whether this is something you want to click through to.

Ok, we replaced 'curious mathematics' with 'group theory'.
