Koohii Story 1 In mathematics, a conjecture is a mathematical statement which has been proposed as a true statement, but which no one has yet been able to prove or disprove. Have you heard of the Finger-Turkey conjecture ? It states that if turkeys had fingers, they would be able to count. Be sure to imagine a turkey with fingers at the tip of its wings, counting from one to ten.
Koohii Story 2 In the midst of conjecture on whether it was done or not, mom stuck her fingers in the turkey to check.
