After arriving late Monday evening, we checked into the Copley Plaza. The hotel was in a great area and just a few blocks from the guys meeting in the Prudential Building. Tuesday morning, I walked with them to the Prudential Building because there's an observation deck on the top floor of the building.

"...then all you have to do is take 8 to the power of 24, and..." Professors.

I was standing taking a photo and as these professors approached me, I heard this part of their conversation. It was classic!! the 'then all you have to do" part. Very funny to hear on this campus.
