Sjezdy různých spolků, organizací či politických stran tradičně nebývají považovány za zvláště vzrušující události.

Tím spíše by se dala očekávat nezáživnost takové akce u spolku, který má v názvu matematiku a fyziku a vyčpělé slovo jednota. Sjedou se tam nejspíše postarší pánové a několik málo dam a vše jednotně odkývají prošedivělými kšticemi. Bylo tomu tak i letos v Ostravě na 19. sjezdu JČMF? and Jan Valenta.
