About a decade ago I came up with a "Bedtime Theorem" proof of V-E+F=2 that the high schoolers I tried it out on, late at night, seemed to follow. But it was interactive, semi-Socratic math, so a transcript (or audio or video capture) wouldn't have the same feel. Jim Propp Yes, there's a completely obvious proof of V-E+F=2 that you can work out in your head in about 15 seconds. -- Gene
