I just wanted to get the answer with the least amount of button-presses on my calculator.

Eh, you already had the right answer. So now you're the meat of philosophy debate, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Gah. There's a bullet point in someone else's meeting minutes that neither of us can decipher. Somehow it's become my job to puzzle it out...

Take the tea leaves out? Though I don't think that addresses the "old" factor.

Or! I know! Drink faster!

Eh, you already had the right answer.

You had the right answer with you all the time. Just click your heels together...

Or maybe the answer is in your heart.

Or maybe the answer is in your heart.

Don't let it crowd out the magic, though.

Though I don't think that addresses the "old" factor.

No, it's fine--but your traditional teapot doesn't allow for that. I'd need a two-cup teapot with a large area for the leaves, but easily removable, and it has to be well insulated so the second cup is still pretty hot.

Drink faster!

The second cup will always be stronger than the first, though.

However, not everyone does--so if someone uses the term "math idiot" I'm gonna provide a method to solve that problem.

Yeah, that's probably the best. But I often don't trust that I'm remembering the right rule for the problem. So essentially I derive the correct method each time, which for me, anyway, is the easiest way.

you need a tea cozy to keep the pot warm!

Like this tea cozy:
