👉 In mathematics, a shriekproof is a proof of a statement using the method of shrieks. A shriekproof typically involves breaking down a complicated problem into smaller, more manageable parts and proving each part individually. The goal is to show that the original statement is true by showing that each step in the proof leads to a simpler, more obvious conclusion. For example, consider the statement: "The product of three consecutive integers is divisible by 6." A shriekproof can be done as
