Have only seen Chinese language or Chinese-related explanations. I am not a mathematician. But the case for multiples of 4 is at a junior IMO level (number theory) and, I agree, does seem to demonstrate "insight".

Genuinely have never heard of this Liousville version, and cannot find any mention of it outside of articles written in the last few days about this proof.

I found these from 2024:

and re the Liouville function: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liouville_function

Thanks. I couldn't find anything in literature suggesting this case was previously worked on. I'm also a pure math PhD candidate so I guess I'm just coping..

O Lord, the next wave of desperation, now they all have to "solve" some challenging math problem.

Can't wait to see how late to the party Google is with this one later on. Lol
