And what do we learn from this?

Warning: Beer soaked rambling ahead.

The lesson is: As much as possible, try to get some alcohol in your system before taking on someone else's math troubles. Otherwise, You'll end up suffering needlessly. Worst yet, you might get philosophical and end up asking yourself the following questions:
What the heck am helping out here for?
Am I actually doing all this math philanthropy for nothing and with eyes wide open?
Am I such a glutton for torture that I would willingly spend time (better spent with my loved ones) working out other people's math concerns without the benefit of some sort of anesthesia (like booze maybe)?
Is all this math help philanthropy really some sort of a coping mechanism for our unsatisfactory real lives? (One where we get to become some sort of a knight in shining armor and save all these people ftom their perceived math troubles; some might of course prefer the superhero genre, complete with capes and cowls or masks)
Do I really want to save the world from all this life threatening math problems?
Better yet, do I really want to take over the world? Will all the paperwork bury me?
Can we really define what it is we do out here?
Can pigs really fly?

Well, you get the picture. You can add more questions if you like. If your answer to some of these is yes, then I guess some of us really need a drink (or a sense of humor) more than I do.
