Trivia
Professor T. tells the hotel clerk that his taxi license plate is 1729, the clerk says that 1729 is the smallest natural number that can be written two ways as the sum of two positive cubes. This is based on a supposedly true incident where British mathematician G. H. Hardy told Indian mathematician Ramanujan that the license number on his cab was "rather dull," and Ramanujan replied "it is a very interesting number" with the explanation the clerk gave. The incident is in the movie Ramanujan.

More Lies

This is the second time this series has misled the viewers. At the top of the show Professor T said, "Humans who wrongly call themselves 'Homo Sapiens', are guided more by irrational decisions than by solid reasoning."

That was the same type of recursive lie that Professor T began the previous episode with. Anyone who isn't listening carefully will think everyone is a Homo Sapien. When, in fact, there are TWO distinct bloodlines: Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals.

This episode was interesting because we met a killer who was (at least while playing Chess) just as smart as Professor T. Then the unstated challenge became: how would Professor T overcome this extraordinary killer?

What's beginning to become clear is, Christina Flamant is a guilt-ridden bureaucrat who blames anyone but herself for her mistakes. To his credit, T does not waste time haggling with her. In an interesting paradox, this is the one social situation when Professor T's intentional silence exemplifies strength of character.

I'm truly enjoying this show. It's not overly gross. And by including levity during each episode, the serious situations seem plausible. IMHO, this series is what The Undertaker attempted to be, but failed.
