As Smart as Einstein I’m smart. I mean, really smart. I may not
be as smart as Jeffrey Skilling, who described himself as
“f**king smart,” but I think I’m at least as smart as Albert
Einstein. Watch. I’ll prove it. Einstein came up with the
formula E = mc2. Luckily, I’ve studied algebra, geometry and
graph theory, so I know that E = edges, m = slope, and c =
length of hypotenuse. I can then use the following diagram to
verify Einstein’s formula: It’s quite easy to see that the slope
of the hypotenuse is 1, so plugging values into the formula
gives the following: This result is then confirmed by counting
the edges in the triangle. Q.E.D. (By the way, qed is derived
from a French word that means, “And there you have it.” It’s a
great Scrabble® word, since it contains a q but no u. You should
use it next time you play Words With Friends. Seriously, your
opponent will be impressed.) See? I told you I was smart.
