Question 633567
<pre>
As always, Ikleyn has to be a smarty pants. She constantly criticizes the
struggling students who post on this site.  She mainly wants to show how
clever she is, even though the clever method she uses is often not the one 
the teacher is teaching.

So now she has to criticize me for criticizing her.  Before she wrote this 
I was thinking of congratulating her for not criticizing this student for
failing to give the necessary equation. 

No, I'm not here to "show my presence". It is important to show the student 
that if the question were this,

Given {{{a^2+b^2=c^2}}}, b=35, c=37, what is a?

then the answer could be a = 12 or a = -12.
