I dated a girl whose sister was good at math. Had a theorem named after her when she was an undergrad. For her grad degree she got Harvard, MIT and Stanford in a pissing match; Stanford offered her the most money. Then she went off and did two years of research in Switzerland. Now she teaches at UC Santa Barbara.

I got a "broken" VCR off of her for free because she couldn't wrap her head around "tracking."
