My son had a math teacher who was trying to teach the importance of
understanding the problem. She handed out a test and said, "Read the
test before beginning."

The last problem of the test said, "Make sure your name is on the test
and then turn it in." He turned his in and got an "A". Everyone else
worked the problems and got lower scores.

Of course my son was always an overachiever, He brought home an essay
test with the comment from the teacher at the end of it saying, "I got
all the way to the end before I realized, you hadn't answered the
question." I think he got a B on that one for distracting the teacher
enough so that she didn't realize he didn't have a clue.

. . . and to swing it back to the question. Is a microprocessor with A/D
and D/A digital or analog?  (And yes, I'm in the it's all analog camp.)
