We’ve all seen the math tests where people answer “tough” questions with humor.
A while ago, I came across this one…
… and realized it was mine
Are you supposed to claim things like this?

Yes. You are most definitely suppose to claim things like this!
Well I guess that’s one thing I did right.
Seriously, it’s yours? lol! I’ve seen this before and laughed so hard. This is something my son might have done, given his sense of humor. Bravo!!
You’ve got a serious disease from way back, Peter–it’s known as flippancyitis. Try not to meet up with any stodgy people, or you will suffer from a nearly irresistible compulsion to make weird and funny remarks, and will be punished by silence and ers and ums for doing so!
That’s why I blog. I can make those remarks and then pretend everyone thinks I’m a genius. If anyone ers or ums, I strike down their comment with glee only a flippancyitis-racked body can achieve.
I love this…will show it to my math-major son…so he can laugh, too!
That’s a great one!
This deserves an award! I’ve nominated you for the Reader Appreciation Award.
Couldn’t stop laughing … I majored in Math in College … and when I had to prove from A to B, I would put A at the top … work down as far as I could go … put B at the bottom … work up as far as I could go … then put “It is intuitively obvious to the casual observer” in the middle and hope for partial credit.
I think you just described my college experience: hoping for partial credit. Proofs are the worst.
