Ha ha ha ha ha! In fact, I was going to leave Wing’s very comment, with a link to Wing’s website, for I am that very professor who used that very extra-credit question on her midterm this semester. (I encrypted the question. Most students decrypted it. No one guessed the answer.)
Related: once I was asked by a friend to provide an extra credit problem for her number theory midterm, and this was what I gave her and she used:
How do mathematicians split up leftovers when they get take out?
They use the Chinese Remainder Theorem
(Goes to put this in my own comic because I was gonna do that then I totally forgot because I fell asleep…)
Yay for the CRT! Finally something I don’t have to look up on Wikipedia. ;)

This comic is somewhat racist.
