The lower your number, the closer you are to mathematical greatness! A 3 or lower? That's like finding out your date casually hangs out with mathematical celebrities. No wonder our protagonist's brain is exploding with excitement - he just went from "nice date" to "I'm definitely putting this on my CV" territory.
