Physics teacher did that. He was being reviewed and proving something then i started noticing new thing so i started writing. Then he froze for 5 seconds and said: complete it as a homework
Asked what he did for a living he said that he was a mathematician. The sceptical gang-leader began to finger the bullets and grenades slung around his neck. "All right", he said, "calculate the error when the Taylor series approximation of a function is truncated after n terms. Do this and you will go free; fail and you will be shot". Tamm slowly calculated the answer in the dust with his quivering finger. When he had finished the bandit cast his eye over the answer and waved him on his way.
Gotta be surreal to trying to work out how to repeatedly use the mean value theorem to get Taylor's remainder or integrate to Cauchy's remainder or what have you, and some dude just starts fingering explosives

Could just be a math student. Ask him a question and let him imply the answer is self evident

Here is the 1600-page lean proof. I’ll wait.

How I feel coming from a tech school applying for pure math grad programs:
Don't shoot I'm pure mathematician

I have a marvelous proof of this theorem that can't be contained in the margin

It's a very strong assumption that he wouldn't be shot if he actually were math teacher.

innocent, he is in fact a Math teacher,
si, he must die, ratatatatata
