Or you can just be like von Neumann

From: https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/columnists/teachabl...

>George Pólya, one of his university teachers, said, “I came to a certain theorem, and I said it is not proved and it may be difficult. Von Neumann didn’t say anything but after five minutes he raised his hand. When I called on him, he went to the blackboard and proceeded to write down the proof. After that I was afraid of von Neumann.”
