When You're Right For All The Wrong Reasons

When math gets confusing, just add all possible answers together! 🤣 This calculus hero is tackling the tricky derivative of x^x by using two different approaches that each seem valid—then just combining them when they don't match! The punchline is brilliant because the student actually stumbles into the correct answer (the derivative really is (1+ln x)·x^x), but for completely wrong reasons. It's like finding treasure while running away from a bear! Even better is the fake citation to "u/naxx54 et al." as if Reddit users are now publishing in mathematical journals. Peak academic desperation meets accidental genius!
