“People think they don‘t understand math, but it‘s all about how you explain it to them. If you ask a drunkard what number is larger, 2/3 or 3/5 , he won‘t be able to tell you. But if you rephrase the question: what is better, 2 bottles of vodka for 3 people or 3 bottles of vodka for 5 people, he will tell you right away: 2 bottles for 3 people, of course.”

– Israel Gelfand, Soviet mathematician. (1913-2009)
