98.6 °F (37.0 °C) is not the normal or average temperature of the human body. That figure comes from an 1860 study, [297] but modern research shows that the average internal temperature is 36.4 °C (97.5 °F), with small fluctuations. [298] [299] [300] The cells in the human body are not outnumbered 10 to 1 by microorganisms. The 10 to 1 ...
In formal logic, the statement "If today is Saturday, then 1+1=2" is true. However, '1+1=2' is true regardless of the content of the antecedent; a causal or meaningful relation is not required.

Of the cleanly formulated Hilbert problems, numbers 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 18, 19, and 20 have resolutions that are accepted by consensus of the mathematical community. Problems 1, 2, 5, 6, [g] 9, 11, 12, 15, 21, and 22 have solutions that have partial acceptance, but there exists some controversy as to whether they resolve the problems.
