Consider the following problem: "If you jump in front of a Metra train, n"

The case where n = is your problem set still due? has been well studied by Agarwala and Moriarty, who have determined that your problem set is still due, though you are no longer expected to turn it it. The case where n = is your midterm still due? is not as well understood. This author believes that the midterm is still, in fact, due, though there is no longer much incentive for you to turn it in because if you are dead, well, there isn't really much your professors can do to you.

However, this case is still open for study and is appropriate for a BA-level sociology paper.

*Just for the record, this is prompted by Amanda's away message. I am not planning on jumping in front of a Metra train to avoid my number theory problem set.*
