a testament to the power of public education

So the problems for my Calculus BC homework were 24-72 multiples of 3, 74, 75, 78, and 79. This doesn't seem so complicated or overwhelming. I plow through the first 3, then, in an awesome display of arithmetic, I go from 33 to 37 and continue on to 40, 43, etc. I proceed to finish the homework, close the book, then realize that 37 isn't a multiple of 3. I had to go back and erase the problems I didn't have to do and complete the ones I skipped. It was awesome.

Yes, I do understand the irony in this. I really do.
