Help me out, kids.
I vaguely remember a scam that someone pulled in a Molly Malone math class, with the alleged discovery of an old paper found stuck in a book at the Yale Library written by John Quimby detailing the discovery of the coconant, a new trigonometric function to complement the cosine and cosecant.
Do any of you remember the details, or the perpetrator(s)?
I never had Malone for a teacher, so my knowledge is second-hand.
It's vital that we 64-ers document the details, because phantom trigonometrist John Quimby is nearly as important as our phantom classmate Steve Schmuck. They both deserve to be on our version of Mount Rushmore, along with LeVine and Frehse.
