i was in a group call with 6 mathematicians, and it came time to order our names in the paper we were writing. in math papers, the names are always ordered alphabetically. we had to pull up a picture of the alphabet because none of us could remember which way the letters are ordered.

memorizing the order of the alphabet would take precious real estate that could instead hold a couple more digits of pi
