To the untrained eye, 196,883 + 1 = 196,884 is just basic arithmetic. But mathematicians? They're losing their minds because this is the first non-trivial linear relation in the Monster Group theory, discovered by John Conway and Simon Norton. It's like finding out your calculator has been secretly plotting world domination. The rest of humanity continues breathing normally while mathematicians hyperventilate in corner offices over number theory that precisely zero people will mention at dinner parties.
