the funniest thing ever

expand:

        (a + b) n
=    ( a  +  b) n
=  (  a  +   b ) n
= (   a    +    b   ) n

Some body actually tried to write this on a math test.
This is amazing because i never would have thought to interpret the question this way. I can relate to this person because math can be very difficult and frustrating at times. I applaude this person for choosing to attempt an answer rather than leave it blank or use profanity to express their lack of knowledge. It is also hilarious simply because, technically, it is now expanded form where it was originally.   :)
