The grape juices of wrath are now on sale at Hofer.

Today is the last day of August and the summer is nearly done. Meteorologically speaking, it’s been a lousy three months, but in terms of solving mysteries, it’s been excellent. First, it seems that the eccentric Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman has proven Thurston’s geometrization conjecture and, by extension, the Poincaré conjecture. Meanwhile, here in Slovenia, Boštjan has solved the equally famous Slovenian Grape Juice conjecture, as first posited here. Both discoveries are equally tremendous.

Like the International Mathematical Union, I wanted to award Boštjan a large stipend in the form of nearly €10,000 for solving this seemingly uncrackable mystery. But, much like Perelman, Boštjan refused.

Still, the fruits of his effort can be enjoyed by all, especially me. For behold, on sale today: red and white grape juice!
