True accidental joke: I warned someone yesterday about a possible “sit ban.” If you get one, it means you have to play all your games standing up.

For mathematics, I feel like the analogy would be like this:

High School: What is the answer?
Bachelor’s: How do I use the answer?
Master’s: Why is this the answer?
Doctorate: What should be the question?
Professor: How do I get a grant for this?

Or:

High School: Why do I need this?
Bachelor’s: What is the answer?
Master’s: How do I prove this?
Doctorate: How do I get a grant for this?
