Customers have flocked to him: schoolchildren who need help on their homework, and adults who want the words of the latest song. Huett has answered everything from "What happens in Schiller's Joan of Arc?" to "Recite some verses from Wilhelm Busch's Max und Moritz," has even been known to recite a geometric theorem or two.
