    If you add up all the digits, it sums up to 46, which sums up to 10, which sums up 1, and that’s exactly how many shits you should give about this

      While applying this technique, the caller may well hang up, so the quandary is solved regardless.

        See, this is a type of proof that many mathematicians overlook preferring to opt instead for Proof by Contradiction or Proof by Induction. If they just sit and applied Proof by Waiting, they could solve their theorems with 100x less the effort.

        This morning I proved Pythagoras’s Theorem by employing Proof by Waiting. I waited exactly 5 seconds, and in that time found that it had been proved by a simple online search. Mathemeticians are idiots.
