How to explain the concentration-of-measure phenomenon intuitively?
As I see it, the key intuition is passing from the equator orthogonal to a single vector to looking at a whole orthonormal basis.
Suppose we pick a random unit vector $(x_1,\dots,x_n)$. What we want …

Optimal 8-vertex isoperimetric polyhedron?
An $8$-vertex polyhedron can achieve an isoperimetric ratio of $A^3/V^2 = 159.3243297053\dots$, and based on some quick experiments I'm pretty confident this is optimal (although I wouldn't be shocked …
