"The Penrose Stairs? Those are actually the Penrose Stairs?"
"Impossible."
"How can the Penrose Stairs exist in the real world? Aren't they supposed to be impossible in three-dimensional space?"
"How can the Penrose Stairs appear in three dimensions? That's not scientific at all."
"At a time like this, you're talking to me about science?"
"..."
The viewers' eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw the Penrose Stairs.
The Penrose Stairs were a geometric paradox published in 1958 by British geneticist Leonel S. Penrose and his son, mathematician Roger Penrose. The stairs appeared to go both up and down forever, yet led nowhere, taking anyone who climbed them around in circles.
Many called them "the impossible stairs," because a staircase with neither a highest nor a lowest point could not, in theory, exist in three-dimensional space.
Like the Möbius Strip and the Klein Bottle, they were considered a concept that could only be realized by reaching into a higher dimension. Yet here the Penrose Stairs were.
The Penrose Stairs? Another math problem? Did Demons all love math now? Sphinx had the Goldbach Conjecture, and Minotaur had the Penrose Stairs. Did you all spend the past few thousand years studying math together?
Come on, tell me which school taught you math. I'll make sure it shuts down.
"What do we do, sir?"
Krov searched for the Penrose Stairs on his phone and was dumbfounded by what he found.
The Penrose Stairs? A geometry problem? So the viewers were right when they said mastering math, physics, and chemistry would get you anywhere? I have to learn math to get out of this maze? Is it too late to go back and study?
What do we do? I'd like to know that myself.
Cornelius felt a headache coming on when he
