I personally like, "Can you

I personally like, "Can you list all the digits of PI?"

Well at least they aren’t

Well at least they aren’t doing the real world with nerds… yet

No, but I have Euler’s

No, but I have Euler’s number, e, down :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know why you are

I don’t know why you are so upset over this. There are not many here at LMR that I would consider calling a nerd, and compared to many of the other shows coming from USA I would rather have this then;

  • A useless karaoke contest like American idol
  • Shows about anorectic girls trying to become top models
  • Watching fat people in pain for money or glory (not for the health issue)
  • Showing off young girls in heavy markup as a Beauty pageant,  just to relive the dreams of their parents (read mother)

Give me a geek / nerd any day to show off their knowledge and interest.

i’m not upset at all, i find

i’m not upset at all, i find the whole thing to be hilarious because these
people are so completely not understanding what a ‘nerd’ is :stuck_out_tongue:

a true show centered around the stereotype nerd might be a cool thing.
but this show is doomed to fail for the same reasons that make the shows you mention
the vile garbage they are + the fact that these producers are entirely without anything resembling, or
capable of emulating, ‘a clue’.

for the record: i am one quarter nerd on my mothers side.

 

I can list all the digits of pie.

You will just have to put them in the right order;-)

Hmm. I suppose that answer

Hmm. I suppose that answer could be applied to many, many mathematical problems.

Good one.
