Haha. This reminds me how I was failed an exam for electronic circuits in university. The teacher was giving us some brief formulas without going over why the formulas made sense. When it came to solving the problems in the exam, I used the unpacked formula step by step (that's how I studied it to prep up) and came to a good result. He failed me and told before everyone that one student (me) detailed the solution in too many steps, and you don't do that. Funny thing is that the colleague behind me, who copied what he could see from my paper, passed the exam. He didn't copy all the details :))
