They left out the part where he does the problem in base eight, which is just like base ten if you're missing two fingers.

Like people to get the idea that I have to do this for a living.
I mean, it isn't as though I had to do this, you know, I could be
Making, oh, 3000 dollars a year just teaching.
Be that as it may, some of you may have had occasion to run into
Mathematicians and to wonder therefore how they got that way,
And here, in partial explanation perhaps, is the story of the
Great Russian mathematician Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky:Who made me the genius I am today
The mathematician that others all quote?
Who's the professor that made me that way
The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat?
One man deserves the credit
One man deserves the blame
And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Oy!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach...
I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky
In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics:
Plagiarize
Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize
Only be sure always to call it please "research"
And ever since I meet this man
My life is not the same
And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Oy!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach...
I am never forget the day
I am given first original paper to write
It was on analytic and algebraic topology
Of locally Euclidean metrization
Of infinitely differentiable Riemannian manifold
Bozhe moy!
This I know from nothing
What I'm going to do
I think of great Lobachevsky and get idea - haha!
I have a friend in Minsk
Who has a friend in Pinsk
Whose friend in Omsk
Has friend in Tomsk
With friend in Akmolinsk
His friend in Alexandrovsk
Has friend in Petropavlovsk
Whose friend somehow is solving now
The problem in Dnepropetrovsk
And when his work is done
Haha! Begins the fun
From Dnepropetrovsk to Petropavlovsk
By way of Iliysk and over Novorossiysk
To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk
To Tomsk to Omsk
To Pinsk to Minsk
To me the news will run
Yes, to me the news will run!
And then I write by morning, night
And afternoon, and pretty soon
My name in Dnepropetrovsk is cursed
When he finds out I published first!
And who made me a big success
And brought me wealth and fame?
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Oy!
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachev...
I am never forget the day my first book is published
Every chapter I stole from somewhere else
Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory
This book was sensational!
Pravda - well, Pravda - Pravda said:
Zhil byl korol' kogda-to, Pri nem blokha zhila
It stinks
But Izvestia! Izvestia said:
Ya idu kuda sam tsar' idet peshkom
It stinks
Metro-Goldwyn Moskva buys the movie rights for six million rubles
Changing title to 'The Eternal Triangle'
With Brigitte Bardot playing part of hypotenuse
And who deserves the credit?
And who deserves the blame?
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name!
Oy!

Nah, those guys deserve the hit. Culture Grifters are never cool; a lot of people in Mexico don't even see Mexican-Americans as Mexicans, not even the second generation ones. Now, Irish-Irish, those guys are the most brutal toward their American descendants

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.
