Excellent satire - again :-)
And still no one seems to recognize it as such. Strange.

Funny, I thought it was just Gauss, Bolyai, and Lobachevsky. I only
count three there.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of non-Euclidean
geometry in general.

Riemann was Gauss's student. He took Gauss's theory of surfaces and
generalized it.

I really would like to know what it is that you've been smoking.

Plus Gauss kept it under his hat - he never published. The way people
danced around the development of non-Euclidian geometry is just
funky...
