[Tutor] making math problems mmmm fun

[David Perlman]

Also keep in mind that if you want your code to work, your grammar  
and punctuation in code has to be absolutely flawless.  Writing  
English well is excellent practice for writing code well; writing  
English poorly is excellent practice for writing code poorly.

You get what you pay for.  If you put in the effort, you will reap  
the reward.  If you don't put in the effort, you will reap the reward  
of that instead, which is "teh suck"...  :)
