• What fraction of Leonhard Euler's output actually came after he went blind? Two Tier-2 sources conflict ('half of his output' vs '≈a third in the first seven years') — new findings on the figure's origin and an unresolved denominator

• The 'half of Euler's output came after blindness' figure traces to Ferdinand Rudio's 1883 centenary lecture, not an independent modern tally

• The 'seven years' cited in different accounts of Euler's post-blindness output describe two different seven-year spans

• Euler's total lifetime work count has no single agreed figure across sources — reported totals range from 560 to 866

• Leonhard Euler produced a large share of his roughly 850 works after going blind — but the exact fraction is unsettled, with two Tier-2 sources giving conflicting figures
