> As everyone learns in kindergarten, the speed at which water comes out of a spout in a tank depends on the height

What kindergarten did you go to? Maybe my public kindergarten education was seriously lacking.

Oh sorry that was a joke. (Though you could teach that in kindergarten.) When I was in undergrad I had the privilege of taking Laszlo Babai's combinatorics class. I don't recall exactly how he phrased it, but he would say things like "As everyone learns in kindergarten, the powerset of [n] has size 2^n.".
