[Top ten excuses for not doing math homework]

I accidentally divided by zero and my paper burst into flames.

Today is Isaac Newton’s birthday.

I could only get arbitrarily close to my textbook. I couldn’t actually reach
it.

I have the proof, but there isn’t room to write it in this margin.

I was watching the All Star Game and got tied up trying to prove where the
foul lines converged.

I have a solar powered calculator and it was cloudy.

I locked the paper in my trunk but a four-dimensional dog got in and ate it.

I couldn’t figure out whether i am the square of negative one or i is the
square root of negative one.

I took time out to snack on a doughnut and a cup of coffee. I spent the rest
of the night trying to figure which one to dunk.

I could have sworn I put the homework inside a Klein bottle, but this
morning I couldn’t find it.
