The classic case of mathematical hubris meets basic integration. Student thinks they're outsmarting the professor by taking a different approach to find f(x) when given f'(x) = 2x. Instead of recognizing this as a straightforward x² + C situation, they perform some creative calculus gymnastics, invert the function, and somehow conclude f(x) = -1/x². The professor's "WTF???" and "Idiot" annotations are basically peer review in its rawest form. Nothing humbles a self-proclaimed math genius faster than discovering the fundamental theorem of calculus actually works.
