He's a NYT best-selling author and sold-out stand-up performer. But now it's time he does the maths. Really gets in there and gives the maths a good doing.

It's time he shares his hand-crafted maths code online only for viewers to improve it by 40,832,277,770%.

It's time he shaped-up and crawled out from under the square named after him.
