gollark: Random people are bad and will get it !!WRONG!!.
gollark: I mean, if you're studying, say, maths, then it's not helpful if random people see a question saying "Prove that there are an infinite number of primes. You have 10 seconds."
gollark: No, you need to get people who actually know the field.
gollark: Not even you, as you just pass off half the decision making to other people somehow.
gollark: Just vaguely ask someone "hey, want some help with your educational stuff?" then launch some convoluted scheme to cheat for them where nobody actually has the full picture.
