In Polish language we commonly call turquoise "lightblue", so instinctively we'll have the boundary not at the middle of the turquoise, but between the turquiose and green, (i got hue 165, 95% of the population). We also call it "sea-color", but sea is also more culturally associated with blue than green.

It's not true, despite population increase number of people dying of starvation goes down https://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/famine/ the reason of starvation in modern times is political, not production shortage.

Trivia related to the hyperbolic geometry - There was a game released recently that have a world set in hyperbolic space. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1256230/Hyperbolica/

If someone wants to 'grasp' what hyperbolic space is about, this game is one of the fun and inspiring ways to do that.
