What is the best loophole on an exam that you've ever witnessed?

Описание: My calculus professor was infamous.
His exams broke students. People dropped the class just to escape him.

Our final exam was worth 70% of the grade—and the last question alone was worth 40 points. It looked impossible. Three full pages of symbols no one recognized. Students panicked. Some cried.

Instead of solving it, I stopped and asked a different question: Could this even be solved?

That moment changed everything.

This story isn’t about being good at math. It’s about thinking clearly under pressure, recognizing contradictions, and knowing when the smartest move is to stop calculating and start questioning the problem itself.

Real mathematicians don’t just solve problems—they prove when something is impossible.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on an exam, overwhelmed by a problem, or pressured to keep calculating when nothing makes sense, this story is for you.
