An evil form of magic that only the best of sorcerers can master. Not only does it involve numbers, but letters (mostly x and y). They somehow rearrange themselves into supposedly simpler forms of themselves. I don't know how because I have not mastered the dark magic of algebra yet, nor do I intend to. Teachers try to teach you formulas to learn the magic, but half the time it would only take a true sorcerer to know what's going on.
Teacher: Today in algebra, we will be learning about simplifying fractions. Simplify the following problem:
10x/3x2 + 4/x-1 + 5/6x
Me: *Head explodes trying to comprehend the magic involved*
An evil organization whose business philosophy is the following:

Algebra question: Catarina and Tom want to buy a rug for a room that is 14 by 20 feet. They want to leave an even strip of flooring uncovered around the edges of the room. How wide a strip will they have if they buy a rug with an area of 216 square feet?
Student Answer: Why the fuck should I solve a problem for Catarina and Tom!? What the fuck have they ever done for me!?! I don't give a shit about their rug dilemma!!! Lazy fuckers!
