Major problem here- serialists were anything BUT aleatory musicians. It's John Cage's dream die.

Learning to talk changes how we perceive color

I remember in Jr. high figuring out the equation for the least number of moves necessary. It's (2^x)-1 where x is the number of disks. Then I went out and collected a bunch of coins of different sizes and tried to get other kids to wager some money on whether they could solve a four coin puzzle within a minute. If they did it with no problem, I told them double or nothing with only one more coin.

Hubris was their downfall.
