Career

Palindrome

Mercer is best known for devising the palindrome "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!".[2]

Mathematical limerick

The following mathematical limerick is attributed to him:[3]

This is read as follows:

A dozen, a gross, and a score
Plus three times the square root of four
Divided by seven
Plus five times eleven
Is nine squared and not a bit more.
