    For all those serious Maths buffs... lemmas and theorems!
    1. Lemma: All horses are of the same colour.
    Proof (by induction):
    Case n=1: In a set with only one horse, it is obvious that all horses in that set are the same colour.
    Case n=k: Suppose you have a set of k+1 horses. Pull one of these horses out of the set, so that you have k horses. Suppose that all of these horses are the same colour. Now put back the horse that you took out, and pull out a different one. Suppose that all of the k horses now in the set are the same colour. Then the set of k+1 horses are all the same colour. We have k true => k+1 true; therefore all horses are of the same color.
    2. Theorem: All horses have an infinite number of legs.
    Proof (by intimidation):
    Everyone would agree that all horses have an even number of legs. It is also well-known that horses have forelegs in front and two legs in back. 4 + 2 = 6 legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse to have! Now more...
