To impress you, must one now memorize all the proofs and calculations?
That seems a bit excessive.  Do you memorize everything?  I don't,
mostly because my memory is not as good as when I was young.
Secondarily, because I don't like distributing potentially wrong
proofs and calculations.  If you have memorized everything, I too
would be very impressed.

 I have a good memory and I can recite stuff I learned many years ago,
but analyzing that stuff to know what it means is another thing.
 Hint: A few romantic lines from Chaucer's "Knight's Tale" or the first
few lines from the Cantebury Tales are pretty good for convincing a
fair young maiden to have another glass of wine.  I've had more than
one fair lady (including my wife) look at me in awe when I expained it
was Chaucer. Of course you have to do it in old english.
