    Mysterious graffiti daubed on a Bournemouth hoarding, appearing to show a complex equation, has been dismissed as meaningless by a mathematician.

      We did this in an exam at Uni. Having to remember a number of key facts and dates for an exam three of us entered the exam room the previous day and set a number of complex formulas on the board. All were designed to jog our memories of key facts in the exam. We left it with a note in red 'Do not remove'

      Next day examiner appeared. Looked at the board and tutted when he went to clear the board, leaving it in place.

      We merrily went on with the exam while the examiner a Uni maths lecturer set about trying to solve said equations. At the end he asked the room 'who set this?', pointing at that board 'Its impossible to solve'

      Snigger.

          And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

              He's enjoying his Islington Architect type "holiday" in the rainy season of some disease infested swamp in South East Asia, whilst his long suffering missus google's quickie divorces.

                Chortle! - The whole family will probably come back like Suity, swarming with weird tropical parasites.

                The "maths" looks like a disconnected jumble of undergrad-type maths, or even A Level stuff, of the kind seen on blackboards in films about math nerds e.g. (possibly?) A Beautiful Mind.

                P.S. Is that a cannabis leaf to the right of the picture?

                  I genuinely feel sorry for you.
                  Sad, lonely, poorly educated, obviously untravelled, mean-spirited.
