Very interesting! It seems different manufacturers use different encodings: this is from www.smartrise.us/wp-content/u...

It's time for the annual blind tasting of mince pies

I just cannot resist this sort of clickbait. Of course I don't want to be wrong about rainbows, and the only way to find out if I *am* wrong is to watch the video.

It appears to be this chap, which I wasn't expecting.

I've had this coffee maker for more than a decade, and I've only just realised that this part can be disassembled

It's been like that in e.g. genomics for a while

It appears to be a real product, but I am none the wiser

And it's not the same at all! The line from Lee's poem doesn't say anything about “work”, which to me is the powerful thing about Gray's version.

Lee has a strange way of speaking

If all else fails, we can always try a geometric interpretation of Derksen’s formula:

But we can add a second set of boxes (in blue below), on the same lattice, so that every point is contained in precisely two boxes – either two red ones, two blue ones, or one of each:

Fortunately, this phenomenon does exist in two dimensions, so we can at least start trying to build some intuition in a case that we can visualise. Here’s an example with boxes arranged on a lattice in such a way that there are both overlaps *and* gaps.

How the above looked to me as I was composing it:

I did *not* ask for that. I liked being special

I think he's right that he wouldn't like it here lol

The 2D analogue might be helpful as well. Think of a game like asteroids, where you can go off one side of the screen and come back on the other side. Different rules for which side you come back on, and whether you're reversed in the process, represent different 2D spaces:
