gollark: Have chemists ever built a time machine? No? Exactly.
gollark: Well, you'll have to spend many years learning about it to build the time machine.
gollark: 1. ignore exam, spend years learning highly advanced physics and engineering2. build time machine3. learn stuff for exams4. go back in time to now, replace past self, hope nobody notices, do exam
gollark: Someone was spamming and asked to be banned for incomprehensible reasons.
