    Thanks as always for sharing Tanya. Your sense of humour and mine genuinely align to a quite high degree and I knew there must be something funny in each of them. But it took me a while to realize that “All means to an end” might refer to some notions as old as Aristotle or Bhagavad Gita like the student wants a job in finance and this exam was instrumental towards that goal. Or this is a literal description of the exam: it was mathematical means like QM-AM-GM-HM from beginning to end!
