Nerd sniping, by XKCD.

It could be that the author was inspired by a story from John H. Conway. According to Conway, Coxeter once nearly succeeded in murdering him. The murder weapon was a mathematical problem! Coxeter once came to Cambridge, gave a lecture, and ended with an open question in group theory. Conway left the lecture room thinking. Suddenly the idea hit him—while in the middle of the road. Conway stopped and a large truck ran into him, bruising him considerably. He limped back to the lecture room after the accident and joked that Coxeter had calculated the difficulty of the problem so precisely that he would get the solution just in the middle of the road. Eventually, Conway’s solution became a joint paper, and ever since, he’s called that theorem the murder weapon.

Another year, another project. A 52-week exploration of H.Coxeter surface. Coxeter  wa a giant of mathematics and was instrumental in many discoveries in the field of geometry , computer sciences and opened for us the door of the  4th dimension. What the torus is to the minimal surface, the triangle is in the Coxeter universe and stands as the anchor of all other complex figures to come. Here is…
