Comment on Mathematicians Crack the Cursed Curveparent

Erm, not really. You've heard of 3D graphics I assume?

It’s akin to saying the map of the earth is hard to print on paper. You’d need to put the map on a sphere (so, a globe) to reliably represent the graph.

Erm, unless this is in some way not a 3D curve, it is trivial to plot it in 3D and show a 2D projection of it on a screen. I don't know how you could disagree with that.

Edit: Apparently it is a surface. Someone posted a link below https://www.desmos.com/calculator/4qu7gezqmx

Still not exactly difficult to plot - you probably need some transparency to be able to see it though.
