Науки Зюки. Сказка

Однажды в далёкой галактике на планете Зюка жила разумная цивилизация осьминожек.И случилось так что развитие технологий позволило учёным человеческой цивилизации пообщаться с учёными осьминожками далёкой фиолетовой планеты. Одними из первыми пообщались учёные лингвисты и математики. В целом фундаментальные точные науки у жителей Зюки совпадали с человеческими, но ведь самое интересное в том что не совпадает.
