What is the Four Colour Theorem?

Imagine a totally blank map of the world. Now, imagine you have to paint every single country, but no two touching countries can be the same color! How many colors would you need? You might think you'd need dozens, but here is a giant math secret: you only ever need FOUR! Join Mira and Finn on Maths is Not Boring as they explore the mind-bending Four Colour Theorem! It all started in 1852 when a student named Francis Guthrie noticed a strange pattern while coloring a map of England. Little did he know, he had stumbled onto a mystery that would stump the world's smartest mathematicians for 124 years! Discover the thrilling story of a brilliant math proof that everyone believed for eleven years before a tiny mistake was found hidden inside it. Then, fast forward to 1976 to see how a giant, room-sized supercomputer finally solved the ultimate map puzzle! But wait... did the machine's answer actually count as a real math proof? Tune in to uncover the wild history of maps, giant computers, and a beautiful mystery you can test with just four crayons!
