\item[(2.1.5)] \emph{Show that every natural number is interesting.}
\begin{proof}
  Suppose not.  Then the set $E \subset \N$ of uninteresting natural
  numbers is nonempty, and therefore it contains a unique minimal
  element $n$.  Equivalently $n$ is the smallest uninteresting
  natural number.  But that's rather interesting, so $n \notin E$,
  a contradiction.
\end{proof}
