Special cases of Dirichlet's theorem
I found this generalization of the "$3 \pmod{4}$" version while teaching number theory a few years ago.
Let $G$ be a proper subgroup of $(\mathbb{Z}/n)^\times$. Then there are infinitely many primes …

The prime numbers modulo $k$, are not periodic
Suppose the primes are periodic mod $k$, and let $p$ be a prime divisor of $k$. Then there must be infinitely many primes of the form $p + nk$, which is divisible by $p$. Bad news.
EDIT:
More prec …

What arrangement of unit cubes minimizes surface area?
Here are some ideas about the related question: for fixed $k$, how many cubes can you arrange while keeping the surface area $\leq k$?
If the surface of an arrangement contains three or more sides …

Collecting proofs that finite multiplicative subgroups of fields are cyclic
Lemma: Let $G$ be a finite abelian group, and let $x\in G$ with maximal order. Then for any other element of $y\in G$, $|y|$ divides $|x|$.
Proof. If not, then there is an element $y\in G$ and a pr …
