Urgh.
I had this whole schpiel written out, and then my anxieties just had to come a-knocking.
Doesn't help that I just had a long and fairly stressful day with my car's cooling system on the fritz, trying to fix it*, and then working through the thunderstorms that came charging through the area. (It's not the storms themselves or even the driving conditions - it's watching out for the fucking idiots that think they're immortal or some bullshit.)
I'll try again later, but until then...
Can you explain how the Four Color Theorem applies here? I poked around online and all I saw was just stuff about mathematics and geopolitical maps, so I'm missing something there. Probably will want to thwack myself over the head with a Louisville Slugger afterwards.
* Oh boy was this ever an experience. Went to the pick-and-pull to get a replacement radiator fan for my car. First one seemed to work, but it only actually had one (and only one) working stator coil and by sheer chance started up when my car did. I didn't figure this out until middle of lunch shift when the car's AC goes out and the engine starts to overheat. Went back to the pick-and-pull between lunch and dinner for an exchange - they won't let me bring a battery pack into the yard, so I can't test the fan motors out there. Instead I have to pull one, bring it out to my car, connect jumpers between the terminals on the fan and my battery, and hope that it works. If not? Go back in, tell them that one's no good, and go and find another one to start the process over again. I went through two more duds before I finally found one that works! I even went and swapped the fans themselves - the older versions had a very nice turbine-style fan while the newer ones were basic straight-edge five blade fans. Swapped the turbine from a non-working motor onto the motor that did work. NICE airflow now! But good LORD the hassle I had to go through... orz...
