Inequality of the Day on Break

Sorry, folks. The blog has become increasingly difficult and time-consuming, mainly just coming up with the inequality itself! It's surprisingly challenging! Ben has started his first year of graduate school (Go Ben!) and is also working as many hours as possible, so to help ease the load, the blog is going on a hiatus. But keep on sending us your inequality ideas for when we return! Thank you all so much for helping us out with your ideas for past ideas and especially for VOTING!
