The Ross–Littlewood paradox; it was my mentor's goal to haunt my mind with this mathematical monstrosity. As I was writing one of the countless tests I had to endure during my nightmarish childhood, my mind dozed off only to find myself groping off my Balls, trying to estimate their volume, just how Bernard Bolzano used to when he was coming up with his twisted mathematical expressions.
I hadn't felt this way for decades, up until yesterday, while watching this picture. It reminded me of my childish researches; trying to figure out the correlation between Sex and Art (!), only to end up in the cul-de-sac of the system of linear equations with two variables. And yes, my friends, as you guessed, it was only a few years later when I realized that the two variables are my Balls, the same way Ariane Labed realized that her ribbon is a mere tool of the Hénon map...
