I&#x27;m not a native English speaker and I had some trouble understanding that pun.<p><i>&gt; So how do we do it? We are going to have to talk a bit about the representation of polynomials in computer memory first. (Haha get it?)</i><p>Without that hint I would have totally missed it.<p>Also, this could be a joke on the joke. Probably the author didn&#x27;t really think this pun is funny, and made fun of themselves by overstating how funny that pun is. Humor is a large field with lots of varieties. (And no, I will not spoil that this is a maths pun.)
