Question
Say WHY. . . . . .
Ramanujan’s letter bored and irritated Hardy, at first.
Solution
Ramanujan's letter was written in halting English and signed by a person unknown to Hardy. The script appeared to consist of theorems, most of them wild or fantastic-looking. Some of them though well-known were laid out as though they were original. There were no proofs of any kind. It seemed to be a kind of fraud, and hence bored and irritated Hardy.
