Inside the BSD Conjecture Lecture Hall.
On the podium, Trollope and Lawrence were about to begin when they heard earthshaking commotion outside!
The corridor, which had just settled down, began rumbling again. All kinds of noisy shouts and footsteps rang out, and the disturbance was deeply unsettling!
"What happened outside? Don't tell me there's a stampede?" Trollope's expression turned ugly.

The Lecture Hall immediately burst into laughter. The mathematicians inside looked smug, enjoying
