I still remember the feeling I got when I first read the first paragraph and especially this phrase:

"For one thing, if (a) you had taken 225 million orangutans distributed roughly as the U.S. population is; if (b) 215 winners were left after 20 days; and if (c) you found that 40 came from a particular zoo in Omaha, you would be pretty sure you were on to something."

Compared to anything in finance I've read up until then, it felt like I just found the right guy.
