I'm just remembering the story told by a Math prof ,about a student who took a Calc exam ,where one problem involved Superman jumping from a building. It seems in exam, the student drew an incredibly -detailed picture of the problem, including a carefull drawing of the cape and costume, windows and other features of the building, potted plants in the balcony, etc. But he never bothered answering the problem itself.

Why did the girl-eigenvector and the boy-eigenvector split up?
They found that they had very different eigenvalues. And they both needed more Hilbert space.
