Check my math homework in the back of the book when I’m done with it.
This is a simple one that you wouldn’t think would be hard, but I did badly at it this past year. I tend not to want to face the possibility that I have to do several problems over.

Maybe the litary of Tarski could help with that motivation:
“If the answer is O(x log(x)), then I desire to believe that the answer is O(x log(x));
If the answer is not O(x log(x)), then I desire to believe that the answer is not O(x log(x));
Let me not become attached to answers I may not want.”
That’s a good way of thinking about it. I hope it works.
