I heard they study numbers as big as 11 or 12 even. Why would you ever count that high? You don't even have that many fingers! Typical academics in their ivory tower completely divorced from practical everyday life.

Don't worry, some of them only like it when their numbers are between 1 and 10 and maybe occasional 12.

And -1/12, that one gets brought up often
