Resolves YES iff I start officially dating a girl before I finish reading the entirety of Allen Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology. This includes reading Chapters 0 - 4 and solving all exercises.

(As of December 22, 2025, I am on Section 1.2.)

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

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!!
