The Council of Advanced Mathematicians has released the name of the winner of the Steven Hawking Award for Complicated Mathematics. This year, the award goes to The Webmasters at the World Literature Corporation (WLPC) for their convoluted and complicated scoring rubric for stories posted on their websites.
"Competition for the prestigious award was particularly fierce this year," said Council President Archibald Bentham. "It was a close race between the Physics Department of Hamburg University and their Unified Theory of Everything and World Literature Corporation, but two of the judges were able to decipher one line of the Hamburg entry while not a single person could understand anything about the WLPC scoring system.
The presenter at this year's award ceremony, Sir Basil Smythe-Wellington, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, remarked that 'the complex algorithm continued to baffle some of the greatest minds in mathematics and physics.'
Lazeez, the person who accepted the award for WLPC, noted that, "I am excited to announce that in our tireless effort to further obfuscate the voting procedure we are evaluating a formula that compares the composite scores with the number of left-handed Albanian vegetarians then arbitrarily divides the results by some random number."
