“If I go home today it will kill me, because I’m doing this for my family – the whole state of Tennessee – you guys.”

Logic of a Mathematician

“If Amanda wins the Nerd-off instead of me, and she beat Colby, I’d feel like a huge wuss. If Amanda goes in and loses, I will never be able to look at myself in a mirror. But if, you know, I make $100,000, maybe I could just buy myself a new mirror.”

“It’s hard to undo stupid.”
