As students of such classes, we have all wished for an easy answer to difficult problems, such as those involving intermolecular forces, or transient electrical processes. Well, as a result of my ever growing need as an engineer to find an easy way out when I get stuck in the mud and can't find the correct solution, I have devised an answer that is the solution to any problem containing numbers, be them imaginary or real.
The answer is SQRT(2)*X, where X is any number subject to arithmatical distortion and is simply inversly related to the answer by the ratio of 1/Sqrt(X).
For example:
When asked to find an answer to a problem involving the speed of light you forget the constant necessary for evaluation. The correct answer is 2.4 meters. However, another irrefutable answer would be SQRT(2)*X, where X= 2.4/SQRT(2). However, it is sufficient for you to say SQRT(2)*X, where X=ans/SQRT(2), because it is safe for you to assume that whoever is grading the paper already has access to the answer and can easily fill in what seems to be missing but is in fact there.
This theorem is nearly law, as it has already saved me 15 total points on one of my quizzes.
