YES iff I get a girlfriend before I finish reading all of Allen Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology and solve all exercises. Resolves when I start dating a girl or complete the Hatcher 100% speedrun. Whether or not they count as a girlfriend is up to my discretion.

I am a freshmen at Princeton University. As of January 26, 2026, I have read Chapter 0 (no exercises done), Section 1.1 (all exercises done), Section 1.2 (almost all exercises done).

Ahahah what do u think abt Putnam or MIT then :D (yes i created an acc to say this hi)

bought Ṁ75 NO

Allen Hatcher would be disappointed in you if this resolved yes

To finish, you'll have to read in public. Ladies can't resist anyone who knows their way around a cohomological cup product (chapter 3).

bought Ṁ10 YES

It's 559 pages of algebraic topology. I think you have a good chance of meeting someone before finishing it cover to cover.

@guiltybystander But how will he have the time to get a girlfriend whilst he's captivated by such a great text?

@Jasonb Don't make me regret my M10 bet!!
