Forty - year - old Jean Baptiste Huynh, the Vietnamese Frenchman living in Oslo who persuaded the entire country
of Norway to spend a week solving
algebra problems, looks quite a bit younger than he
really is.
I can't exactly say how, because I don't
really know how refrigerators work, especially refrigerators that rely on pure radiation for rejection
of heat during their cyclic operation and it all makes my head hurt to try to figure it out and explain it in a way that would actually convince somebody (you know, with
algebra and Navier - Stokes and everything) but it
really is fun to talk about it as if I did know.»
