Yeah, that was the irony. I read a paper about reading math carefully, I ignored the intent of the paper entirely and skipped straight to the example, I saw 1+2+3+4+5=3x5, and I told my buddy, "Look, it's the product of the final number and the one that is two before it! So for 435, it's 435 times 433! Isn't that cool?"
