That awkward moment when you finish a math problem and your answer isn’t even one of the choices.If there is a 50-50 chance that something can go wrong, then nine times out of 10 it will.

else — but persistent.
Mathematics is a hard thing to love. It has the unfortunate habit, like a
rude dog, of turning its most unfavorable side towards you when you
first make contact with it.
