Jeffrey Epstein Was A Mathematics Professor?

While his tenure at the esteemed Manhattan prep school was only a brief one, historically speaking, Jeffrey Epstein is not the only mathematics professor with an “iffy” sexuality by today’s standards?

When it comes to mathematics professors who had dabbled in “paedophilia”, it seems that only the most scholarly can attest that there are already two of them – i.e. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll and the disgraced billionaire financier who had recently allegedly committed suicide in prison named Jeffrey Epstein. But is there any truth to the “alleged paedophilia” to both math professors?

Even though US President Donald Trump seems to have got off Scott-free when it comes to his “paedophile adventures” with Jeffrey Epstein, it was Prince Andrew who got a grilling by public opinion after an ill-advised interview at the BBC Panorama program. But does the “mathematical profession” really attract some “perverts”?

Dalton – the esteemed Manhattan prep school  where Jeffrey Epstein became a mathematics professor back in the 1970s has long been known for its rigorous academics, repeatedly ranking among the United States’ best private schools while drawing the sons and daughters of New York’s titans of finance, media and art. And students who are enrolled in Epstein’s class vividly remembered the then mathematics professor dressing in furs with open chest revealing chest hairs and blingy gold jewelry. Many say that the only reason Epstein got the job is that a number of New York’s upper crust acquired millions via Epstein’s financial advised backed by his mathematical acumen – although Epstein eventually quit after getting richer off the New York Stock Exchange.

Even though Victorian era mathematician Charles Dodgson – aka Lewis Carroll – who wrote Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland had an extensive collection of photos of naked girls aged 8 to 11. Though Charles Dodgson signed his real name to only his “serious” mathematical works, mathematicians for decades have been intrigued by the rich skein of symbolic logic that is woven into fantasies like in Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass.

The Mathematical Merits of Jeopardy’s 69 Ban?

I thought it was the premise of the upcoming third Bill and Ted movie, but is there any so-called “mathematical merits” of Jeopardy’s 69 ban?

By: Ringo Bones

I have no idea when it started, but it still surprises me that middle-school kids still giggle whenever the number 69 is uttered in an unguarded moment. But during the last week of April 2019, a new ruling on the iconic TV game-show Jeopardy has been divulged preventing contestants from betting $69 on the Final Jeopardy stage of the game citing the awkward sexual nature of the number.

It is not only the number 69 that got the axe on Jeopardy – it also includes the so-called “Number of the Beast” – i.e. 666 as in $666 Final Jeopardy bets. The betting ban also includes numbers of Neo-Nazism significance, like the number 88, the number 14, and the number 1488 – odd since before the Obama Administration era episodes of Glenn Beck’s show on Fox News, the only “Nazi significance” I know of the number 88 was the 88 millimeter shell used by Nazi era Germany. Outside of joining Richard Butler’s Aryan Nation, it was probably Glenn Beck who made Neo-Nazi numerology more or less common knowledge. Fortunately, a $420 Final Jeopardy bet is still valid.
