Sep 1, 2021 at 19:52 comment added Stefan Kohl The Google image search for "Maryam Mirzakhani doodles" turns up a number of them.
Aug 30, 2019 at 18:59 comment added Jim Perhaps of interest: you can see her "doodling" in this youtube video (at 2:28).
Aug 30, 2019 at 17:57 comment added Emil Jeřábek Ah, this is it! Thank you. I suspected it was a typo, but couldn’t figure out any reasonable-sounding problem that might have been intended.
Aug 30, 2019 at 16:37 comment added Anthony Quas @EmilJeřábek: That's embarrassing. This turns out to have been a typesetting error. The original asked students to show that $15x^2+y^2=4^n$ has a positive integer solution.

Aug 30, 2019 at 10:38 comment added Emil Jeřábek (Not related to the question.) Out of curiosity, I had a look at the latest issue, and I’m puzzled: how are the students supposed to show the false statement that “the equation $15x^2+y^2=4n$ has positive integer solutions for any integer $n\ge2$”?
