gollark: How many regularly-visited-by-competent-mathematicians websites which are vulnerable to apiotakeover using 1337 h4xx are there?
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.
