Why not keep it simple, there's no need to try and demonstrate how complicated one can make it look. - but they get off on it, makes them feel superior.

I've often looked at many concepts from maths students on the web, and the most simple equations are deliberately turned into cryptic crosswords, kind of like some secret nerds club


Do you have any idea who you're trying to put down?

If you bother googling the news you'll find the Huygens legacy is prominently performing right now.

He discovered that Saturn had rings as opposed to the presumed bulges. Quite impressive considering he had to invent a suitable telescope first.
