Thanos believed the universe suffered from overpopulation. His DISPASSIONATE or impartial solution was to use the immense power of the Infinity Stones to destroy half of all life. Tragically, his diabolical plan succeeded. This left the Avengers with the seemingly INSUPERABLE or insurmountable task of finding a way to reverse the Mad Titan’s seemingly irrevocable evil action. Stay tuned!
SAT test writers have yet to show an interest in the INSUPERABLE task facing the Avengers. But they are very interested in the word INSUPERABLE. Here’s why: Two thousand years ago, the Roman scholar Marcus Varro proposed that hexagons are the most efficient way to divide a plane into equal areas. Varro noted that bees instinctively use this pattern in constructing honeycombs. Known as the “Honeycomb Conjecture,” Varro’s hypothesis defied or resisted mathematical proof for 2,000 years. Finally, in 1999 Thomas C. Hales solved the seemingly INSUPERABLE problem by offering mathematical proof that hexagons are indeed the most efficient way to divide a plane into equal areas.
