I was particularly tickled by
The two kinds of relative clause, to one of which that & to the other of which which is appropriate, are the defining & the non-defining; & if writers would agree to regard that as the defining relative pronoun, & which as the non-defining, there would be much gain both in lucidity & in ease. Some there are who follow this principle now; but it would be idle to pretend that it is the practice either of most or of the best writers.

I first saw this in Kordemsky's 'The Moscow Puzzles', English edition 1972. A tough nut indeed, but somehow never attracted the attention of the Collatz problem.

This is an unashamed riff off one of @dandersod's Desmos challenges at dailydesmos.com. I'm determined not to let my complete ignorance of Desmos interfere with my fun. #p5.js #GenArt #MathSky
