Good lord, Charlie Brown, you must be kidding.

I wish there were a good way to notate intonation, 'droid, I have no idea what kind of irony/sarcasm/flabbergastation/??? you intend. -- I'll guess.

Well, math is problem solving, isn't it? And if you haven't solved the problem correctly, you'll push wrong buttons and/or right buttons in the wrong order. The calculator will calculate correctly, but the anwser will be wrong.

For most people, math == calculation. 'T ain't.
