S3. SCIENTISTS MEET

Believe it or not here are some replies we received after extending an invitation to eminent Scientists for a Ball?
Pierre and Madame Curie were radiating enthusiasm. Einstein thought it would be relatively easy to participate in. Volta was electrified and Archimedes buoyant at the thought. Ampere was worried he wasn't up in his current research and may not be able to spare time. Ohm resisted the idea at first. Boyle said he was too much under pressure. Edison thought it would an illuminating experience. Watt reckoned it would be a good way to let off steam. Stephenson reacted saying that the whole idea was loco. Wilbur Wright accepted with the proviso that he and Orville could get a flight. Dr. Jekyll declined - he hadn't been feeling himself lately. Morse's reply? I'll be there on the dot, can't stop now - must dash. Graham Bell said he is undecided yet, will give a ring later. Newton was apprehensive that the whole idea will fall down. Ramanujan from India, said the time of 6 p.m. if converted into minutes is a very interesting number. 360 is divisible by 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15, 18,20,24,30,36,40,45,60,90,120 and 180. Also if 5 is added to 360 we have 10^2+11^2+12^2 = 13^2+14^2 = 365 which is the number of days in a normal year. Milton Reynolds reply was illegible; his ballpoint pen ink must have dried up. Mrs. Rice heart was keen to come provided there was to be a competition, she was confident of being named the aviation queen. Werner Heisenberg harped on uncertainty principle associated with his entire programme. Dr. Alexander Lippisch was sure that even if he is held up at his prior engagement place he would be able to reach at supersonic speed. Martin Cooper requested that he may please reminded on his cell phone just half-an-hour before the party is due.
Elisa Otis expressed pleasure and said he would certainly come if his elevator does not cause a hold up. Sholes ChristopherLathem and Gliddon Joseph Farwell acknowledging with thanks sent a beautifully typed letter of consent.
(Notice that the reply clearly gives out the invention for which the scientist was well known.)
