Not surprising...this is a man who in 8.07 handed out a problem set
that took many people (including a friend of mine with a 5.0 GPA) something
like 18 sheets of paper to write out the answers on, and then handed out a
solution sheet that was (seriously) one page long. In particular, one
problem, which took most people about 25-30% of the time (and paper) was
answered suchly "Foo = Bar. This is trivial." (for foo and bar, sub in
a variable and an equation...i no longer remember the answer.)
