Taking the maths and clothing test
Johnathan Pearce (London)  How very odd!

What to wear or not to wear when taking a mathematics test.

Amazing what academics spend their time researching these days. Or perhaps not. An old girlfriend of mine said she thought maths, like chess, was very sexy. Er, yesss.

Can I have her number ?

Mathematics is very sexy. Math is the glacial charm of Eva Marie Saint. Physics is the more visceral charm of Marilyn Monroe.

I have a weakness for both.

The other sciences are no doubt useful but then so was Angela Lansbury.

No, Merilyn was chemistry.

Marilyn was unquestionably biology.

Chess? Sexy?

You be the judge.

I once whispered pie r squared
in a girlfriends ear
and she slapped me!
Do you think she misheard?

She thought you should have been interested in her perimeter, RAB, not her area.

Pie are round. Cornbread are squared.
