When four and a half didn't work, I grabbed a tape measure and gave the guy a lesson in proportionality of similar triangles; learned from high school geometry.

Wow, I am in the presence of true genius............Why didn't you fix the damn scooter yourself if you're so smart?

Because I prefer to remain retired after a career as an engineer. I value my time more than my money at age 71. I also very much enjoyed helping this young man learn an important lesson.

Does your comment reflect the opinion that nobody but engineers can profit from an understanding of high school geometry?
