math libs. final jeopardy answer from last night, under the category "by the numbers."

"how i want a drink, alcoholic of course."

and the stunning answer is here.

so what the hell does that mean? well, the full quote would be "how i want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics. one is yes, adequate even enough to induce some fun and pleasure for an instant miserably brief." it's a mnemonic for the first thirty one digits of pi. who knew these types of things existed? i mean, how many digits of pi does one need to know? and the phrase seems a bit unwieldy, i'd prefer something easier to remember, nevermind one that makes more sense. there are apparently quite a few mnemonics for pi, so i'm gonna have to make up my own, and i challenge you to do the same.

the guy who got this question right came from negative points to the winning score within the last three questions, it was incredible.
