4-I have the proof, but there isn't room to write it in this margin.
5-I was watching the World Series and got tied up trying to prove that it converged.
6-I have a solar powered calculator and it was cloudy.
7-I locked the paper in my trunk but a four-dimensional dog got in and ate it.

9-I took time out to snack on a doughnut and a cup of coffee.
10-I spent the rest of the night trying to figure which one to dunk.
11-I could have sworn I put the homework inside a Klein bottle, but this morning I couldn't find it.
