I feel like I've fallen into mathematical hell.
Question 4, part Q3: There exist two points and two lines, the points not on the lines, such that the point on the two lines is on the line on the two points.
It has taken me a few hours to work out the meaning of that one sentence. I've drawn pictures, and now I've finally got it. I think. Seems easier to me that I first though. Gary sugested that we use three different cases to prove it, but I think I may have done it without them.
Or perhaps I just don't understand it at all.
Saying the theorem is quite satisfying, like articulating "macaw peach" or something lovely and wordy. Maybe it's really just a little bit of surealist/dadaist poetry.

We won't start worrying until I start to get all hot and bothered from trigonometric proofs...

Oh hon. That's not English, you don't have to worry. It's only math.
