That Hilbert was "friend of Albert Einstein and enemy of chambermaids the world over" is a very funny line! Good at setting the scene to those who know something about the topic. Might be hard going for those who have never been exposed to these problems before. It is all presented so quickly that it might be difficult to disentangle the humour from the problem. I suppose one just plays it again ...
