I really liked the scene with Ben Gazara and Michael Rennie where he demolishes the equation with a few simple checks and slashes then says the rest could now be solved with Separation of Variables something I had just learned at college. There aren't too many films that show real math as such a level.

Bandersnatch said:Oh, Jedishrfu. I you could only stop breaking the thread with your obscure references to 60s films. My parents weren't even fully aware of their gonads back then.
So, anyway, after sudden epiphany, I realized that your last post was not a clue, but the answer. This means we need another question.
Q:
There once was a fella
who had an idea
and all the fellas could dig it!
but one
who took a gun
and thought it was fun
