Nothing says "I don't want to do this calculation myself" quite like a mathematician using the royal "we" to assign you a problem they've never actually solved. That smug pipe-smoking expression is the universal sign of someone who just delegated 4 hours of integration by parts to students while sipping tea in their office. The academic equivalent of "I know the answer, I just want to see if you know it."
