gollark: I expect that even if I said "HINT: try looking up "factorize number"" people would complain.
gollark: They don't need to know what potatOS is, only what a semiprime is, and it would be easy enough to just look it up.
gollark: It would be a utopia!
gollark: And then even when it was explained "you can just look up a thing to solve this, it is easy" people just go "AAAA MAFS TOO HARD" still.
gollark: But instead people just decide that anything complicated-looking is obviously impossible?
