    Use lots of weird symbols in the subject: Check
    Post an assignment text without any sign of an attempt at solving it: Check

    Brillant!

    A person is bound to have a birthday on Wednesday sooner or later (if they live long enough...)
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
