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?
gollark: I mean, my approach to such a problem would just be to duckduckgo "factorize number" or something, and most of the programmers on the servers potatOS is tested on were fine with it. People could even have just *asked* how to do it.
gollark: It's not a hard problem. I'm not doing it in my head.
gollark: But somehow SO MANY PEOPLE don't get it. They just say "HELP ME IT IS DIFFICULT MATHS IS THIS VIRUS" or "WHAT IS THIS I DO NOT KNOW MATHS WHAT IS SEMIPRIME" and stuff.
