Mathematicians: "We've proven you only need 4 colors to create a map where no adjacent regions share the same color."

Map makers: "Hold my rainbow."

The Four Color Theorem is one of those elegant mathematical proofs that took 124 years to solve, only for cartographers to completely ignore it in favor of making maps look like a unicorn threw up on them. Sure, you could make do with just 4 colors, but where's the fun in mathematical efficiency when you can assault everyone's eyes with 17 shades of neon?
