opening paragraph

The intro contains a word repetition in the 2nd sentence that could be improved:

A university class on coding theory taught us about spheres in an _n_-dimensional space. Though the math behind it made a good bit of sense (the spheres represent the "error radius" for encoding, while the space between the sphere is "waste" in the coding scheme), trying to visualize four-dimensional spheres can make your head hurt a good bit.

Change 2nd sentence to:

Though the math behind it made perfect sense...
