Green's Theorem

(TMRC) For any story, in any group of people there

will be at least one person who has not heard the story. A

refinement of the theorem states that there will be ▫exactly▫

one person (if there were more than one, it wouldn't be as bad

to re-tell the story). The name of this theorem is a play on

a fundamental theorem in calculus.
