> she knew I was too stupid to use a word like that. Oh... It is the story of my school math education. I always got bad marks, because I was "too stupid to come up with this particular solution to the problem". I didn't thought it was really unfair, because I thought myself to be lazy, and I looked for such solutions to math problems that would minimize my work. Oftentimes I ignored textbook ways to solve problems and used my own. I believed that it was a cheating, so naturally I got worse marks, but I put up with that, because I was lazy to do it in more complex way from a textbook.
