Haha, recognise. I invented a fast search algorithm and worked with some academics to publish a paper on it last year.

They threw in all the complex math to the paper. I could not initially understand it at all despite inventing the damn algorithm!

Having said that, picking it apart and taking a little time with it, it actually wasn't that hard - but it sure looked scary and incomprehensible at first!
