I will discuss some remarkable statements about the Grothendieck ring of varieties ring some new and some old, some known and some conjectural, some believable and some unbelievable. A motivating example will be polynomials in one variable. This is joint work with Melanie Matchett Wood.
(This lecture will be related to the first one.)
