You,
Sir, are awesome.
Why?
(a) Because you haven't bought into the societal assumption (at least
on this side of the pond, but what I've seen leads me to think it

(b) Because you realize this and had no hesitation using it to turn
that kid's bait;
(c) Because you consider that "the only sane reply";
(d) Because you do maths for fun.
(e) Let me add it can be cheaper than going out to the pub,gym etc
Getting a new collectable can give you many hours of restoration
