No worries, it's not a speed contest.

The algebra & topology department was really small, so there were basically only 3 lecturers. I used one for my bachelor's thesis and another for my master's thesis as the supervisors. I also prepared some fancy questions to ask them every now and then to seem like I knew my stuff and to leave an impression in their minds. I can't say I would have known them too well, but we would just have casual chit chat after the actual business was taken care of, especially with the master's thesis supervisor, if there was still time left in the schedule. Just make sure you don't seem arrogant, but still give the impression that you are interested and know more than is required, then you will get nice letters. Bigger departments will probably be more difficult with so many students. Maybe post-lecture questions on something related to what you have been doing on the lectures, but still something you will definitely have had to find out on yourself.

Somebody also seemed interested in K-theory, but I can't remember which one. Here's to you:

What's wrong with wanting to learn something?

Thanks. Now I feel like an idiot.

I do this and I always feel like an idiot when I realise what I have just done.
