They were probably very confused and a little worried about the quality of their well water lol

Though the mathematics were Greek to me I enjoyed the flights of fancy and the down to earth ending.

If I started writing some actual equations you would pretty much end up reading Greek, with all the Greek letters they use for the different symbols…

Arguably all fiction is just people taking the long way around. Definitely makes things more interesting for the reader (if not for the character)!
