// Mr. Forbes makes a math error while discussing derivatives
Class: Oh! Oh! You didn't divide by dt!
Forbes: Ok, ok! You know, when I was teaching at a lower level high school, I used to offer students 1 bonus point for typos, 2 points for a math error, and 5 points for a conceptual error. Naturally, this had their eyes glued to the board the whole class.
Class: *jaws hit the floor in disbelief*
Forbes: Of course, I can't give this opportunity to you guys, because you'd have 4 billion points by the end of the first quarter.
// 2 minutes later
Student: You forgot to distribute delta x.
Forbes: Dammit!
