  1. >!I know that n points can fit on a degree n-1 polynomial and so this joke would work better with a 5th degree polynomial, but that goes up to 1700 goals around minute 18 and squashes the rest of the graph rendering the entire thing pointless!<

  2. Let the club hire you. Phone 999 and tell them this. They’ll hook you up with the board via an excuse and citation.

    Need to get off Reddit Einstein and stand below a tree. Although you’ve probably just drawn a squiggly line on a grid.

  4. Was thinking of a clever response, then remembered I am paying over 9k a year rent to sent my son to Edinburgh to do pure maths masters

  5. To quote von Neumann: “with four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk,”

    Never thought I’d have a chance to use that quote on r/ScottishFootball !

  6. The next oiler? Sure, why not. They’d probably let you oil the gates at Celtic Park.

    The next Euler? No, probably not!
