Getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult feels like being told you suck at Mario Kart your whole life and then finding out your game generates 40 times more banana peels than it's supposed to

This one is still blowing my mind

🧵Fields medalist June Huh shares an early math experience: a chess puzzle in the game "The 11th Hour." Story and figures from nytimes.com/live/2022/07/0…. Can you swap the positions of the black and white knights? Seems hard, right? A new perspective makes it almost trivial! 1/n
