<p>It’s nothing unusual. People take this to the next level. For example, one of my friends who got accepted made his essay a mathematical puzzle (he was a MOPer). It included real/complex analysis. I liked it and apparently the admissions officers did too =p</p>
<p>Another one wrote an essay in some sort of computer science language that he formulated himself (I didn’t understand it so it wasn’t C/Python/R/MATLAB/Java) and he was accepted too…</p>
<p>Point is, no matter how extreme you think you are, there’s probably someone more unconventional than you.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think the original essay is a lot better in conveying a certain tone. You should have submitted it :s</p>
