Self awareness? They all go to a convention meeting, which usually is a place for people who share a common interest to talk and learn. And here everone is standing around but without the slightest indication that any kind of actual exchange/dialogue takes place. Which defies the idea of a convention, but they at least know they’re part of the problem.
Might be due to language / education differences but I don’t think I’ve ever seen these names come up in math problems.
