The third chapter of The Art of Problem Posing begins with an anecdote of a speaker relating the following observation to a group of math teachers: There are nine Supreme Court Justices. Each year, in an act of cordiality the Supreme Court session begins with each judge shaking hands with every other judge. (p. 19) He then asks what the question was for this setup.
