I remember my joy the first time I solved for 6 unknowns.

My first day of freshman "Honors Calculus" at SUNY @ Stony Brook, the professor (a FULL visiting professor from Hungary,) walked in and said, "Good morning. Please prove that between every two rational numbers, there's an irrational number, and that between every two irrational numbers, there's a rational number."

My first thought was, "what the heck am I doing here?" Happily, only 3 students were able to actually complete it. I did pretty well though, got a B+ in the class.

“I remember my joy the first time I solved for 6 unknowns”

Had to fight the guys off with a stick after that?
