An illusion shattered. I thought mathematicians sat around doing very hard sums with very big numbers without even using a calculator.
I had a maths teacher who's party piece was to work out the square root of any number in his head, don't know if he was a good mathematician, I'm evidence that he probably wasn't a good teacher, and I think we can all see that he was not much fun at parties.
