jokes throughout the cartoon's twenty-five year history  exploring everything from to Mersenne
primes  from Euler's equation to the unsolved riddle of P vs. NP  from perfect numbers to

such memorable episodes as 'Bart the Genius' and 'Homer³' to offer an entirely new insight into
the most successful show in television history.
