To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" There are but few men who ever attain the point in the scale of mathematical knowledge necessary to enable them to work out the problem ; that is, so as to render them competent to show exactly at what angle the bee ought to make the three rhomboidal plates to meet in the centre. "It would take, " says Sidney Smith, "a senior wrangler at Cambridge ten hours a day, for three years together, to know enough mathematics for the THE BEE'S MATHEMATICS. 199 calculation of these problems, with which ...not only every queen bee, but every undergraduate grub, is acquainted the moment it is born. " The solution of the difficult problem, as to what angle the greatest saving of wax required, gave a result as near as possible to that which the bee actually makes. " It was, " says Lord Brougham, " the celebrated Maraldi who first measured the angles, and found them to be 109 28' respectively. Reaumur afterwards set a young mathematician, pupil of Bernoulli, called Koenig, to find what were the angles that made the greatest saving of wax, and the result was, by his analysis, 109 26' and 70 34', being within two minutes of his own measure- ment, which measurement he had not communicated to Koenig.
