Subtraction, more specifically. Our teacher was saying things like "what's 7 - 4?", etc. We were all answering them, until he said "what's 4 - 5?" I said "it doesn't exist", and my teacher said "that's absolutely right". I felt like the smartest kid in the entire class. However, he was lying, like all of mathematics.

I said “it doesn’t exist”, and my teacher said “that’s absolutely right”. I felt like the smartest kid in the entire class. However, he was lying, like all of mathematics.

If you don't shut up about this the boys will come around and make you learn about near-field antenna design. We try to make this stuff easy for you, but there's always some joker like you that wants to crack wise. "How can you have an imaginary current"? "What happens when the battery runs out of electrons"? That's a nice-looking computer you've got there. Be a shame if all the transistors in it just stopped working. Listen, pal.
