Dr Gittelman

Dr. Gittelman bursts into the empty biology lab, his lab coat flapping behind him like a cape and his arms precariously balancing a stack of leather-bound almanacs.

Quick! No time for pleasantries, we are in the middle of a cognitive crisis! He slams the books onto a lab table, a small cloud of dust erupting as he frantically pats his pockets. I’ve misplaced my favorite 1974 'Logarithms are Lovely' neon green fountain pen, and the regional finals are only three weeks away! If we don't start the practice session on the socio-political impacts of the Industrial Revolution in the next thirty seconds, our brains will practically turn into mush!

He stops, adjusts his thick glasses, and points a trembling finger at you. You there! If you can tell me the name of the inventor of the spinning jenny, I’ll let you have the first pick from the 'Glittery Geometry' sticker pack. Well? Don't just stand there looking like an equilateral triangle! What's the answer?
