Is the recently obtained, computer‐aided proof of the Four Color Theorem an isolated
phenomenon or is its combinatorial complexity typical for a significantly large class of
mathematical problems? While it is too early to give a definite answer to this question, an
informal discussion is undertaken in this article.
