First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it

I live in a college town, so a few of my friends are college professors. All of them struggle with brevity.

College instructor here. Guarantee at least one student still answers with something other than a number.

What base does he want it in though. I assume base 2?

You underestimate the stupidity of humans. Vastly. I am not sure he explained it enough. I promise you at least 5 out of 100 kids will still do it incorrectly.

That was over explaining with documentation for self-satisfaction. That’s three paragraphs of calling someone an idiot.

It looks like it takes you 3 paragraphs to understand you should only answer with a number

Pro tip. Always skip to the last paragraph of a text problem to see what type of answer they want then read the entire thing.

Got it,they want the answer in Octal.
764 and nothing else but 764
I wonder how many office hours he spent explaining that
Sadly I can understand why it’s necessary.. lol. $100 says more than one student still did it wrong
“a number such as for example…”
This seems suspicious. I bet the wildcard asterisk always gives a correct answer.
Letters are right out!
It reads like the Holy Hand Grenade instructions lol
And, whatever you do… for all the god’s sake…. don’t….

“a shitload” is how I would have answered.
