> Asking impossible questions creates greatness.

Disagree. Asking the question didn't create the greatness. It was there to begin with.

Just add a bonus question, what's wrong with that? People who don't give a shit can ignore it. Those who truly care will solve it because it's there.



We have a fetish for measuring and ordering people. Imagine what would happen if that professor couldn't "find" that one person who scored an 8. We would never be able to find brilliant thinkers.

Thank you Harvard.
