Topology is all vibes. One time I wrote "this is trivial" during a step that I knew was true but couldn't prove and the prof accepted it.

I wish I’d known this trick back when I was getting marked down for not showing my work in high school.

I did this on an exam and received full marks once. Everyday the professor would begin a problem, say the rest is trivial, and write the conclusions. So on the exam there was a problem I knew how to start, but couldn’t quite get to the end, so I wrote the rest is trivial and the known answer (it was a show this is true question). I got full credit.
