How to get banned from the math help room

- Repeatedly tell the TA there that he is not really explaining the problem too well.

- Skeptically ask, "are you sure that you are in the PhD program?" And when he scornfully nods, continue with the puzzled look.

- Frequently interject with "In Soviet Russia, function integrates you!"

- Tell him that he is not nearly as good as the guy who was there on Thursday.

- Demand that he go and get the guy who was there on Thursday.

- When someone is working out a problem on runtime analysis, start singing the Big-O theme song.

i've served my time in the "math room" and i wish i could ban people for stupidity. nothing on your list would cause me to kick you out and i would gladly join in the big o song. but then again, we didn't get too many girls in our building at cmu.

For a reputation you can ride on! My band and I almost got kicked out of an airport restaurant for singing the theme song of a board game from the '80s called "Pizza Party." So I'm pretty sure that would work!
