gollark: I CLEARLY said `= (maybe)`.
gollark: However, apiohax = P = (maybe) NP = 0 (mod N). Therefore, as rings may be noncommutative, it is the case that the left ideal, 7, is an eigenvalue of the matrix expansion of the general bee formula. By basic applications of previously proven lemmas, it can be shown that this makes apiohax isomorphic to the group (ℤ, +). The implications are obvious.
gollark: If you mean the history, this is now classified.
gollark: ?urban apioform
gollark: As apiohax exists and is known to, you exist.
