I blame the media.
"University Challenge" is famously the most
intellectual quiz on the gogglebox.
The questionmaster is (now) Jeremy Paxman(sic).

Having chaired a few pub quizzes myself, a modicum
of disinterest in the outcome does not go amiss.

Esteemed as he (rightly) is as a news presenter and interviewer,
he betrays his bias by making gratuitously cutting remarks when
an undergraduate gets an arts question wrong, and ludicrously
patronizing ones when someone gets a science question right.

Example:

"Work this out before you buzz" Paxman commands fatuously.
"What is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum
of two cubes in two different ways?"
Predictably, someone buzzes instantly and says 1729.
"BLIMEY" says Paxman.

Touching as this anecdote as told by Hardy is, recalling
9[sup]3[/sup] and 12[sup]3[/sup] would hardly rate as one of Ramanujan's greatest achievements, even on his deathbed.

After a lecture in the US of A:
Moderator: "Would you answer some questions?"
Dirac: "Yes".
Punter: "I didn't understand that equation on the top right"
Dirac: Silence
Moderator: "Would you please answer the question"
Dirac: "It wasn't a question, it was a statement".


RDS and Paul please note.
