    That is seriously impressive... I can't even imagine the math. One
    would think, however that individual lower black-boards would be the
    easier route. Perhaps this was more of a photo-op?

    "As for this photograph, probably the photojournalist asked them to fill
    the board with complicated-looking equations for the shot. These are
    general equations of motion, so nothing that you would not have in a
    printed sheet of paper."

    Yes...but the blackboard was used....they worked in teams....so many
    people viewing the blackboard.
