Mathematicians Giving Christmas Presents

Mathematicians Giving Christmas Presents

That poor kid just discovered the cruelty of mathematical gift-giving. Nothing says "I love you" quite like a box containing a note that reads "the present is left as an exercise for the reader" while your entire family cackles with delight at your suffering. This is the mathematical equivalent of promising someone cake and then handing them flour, eggs, and a recipe. Mathematicians don't solve problems—they create them and then walk away with that smug "you'll thank me for the learning opportunity" smile. The trauma visible on this child's face will undoubtedly fuel years of therapy or a future career proving unsolvable theorems just to inflict similar pain on the next generation.
