There is an obvious mistake the teacher didnīt saw:
Souls are massless [in any religious theory].
Consequently, the accumulation of souls do not cause a total mass
increment.
The proof was for a D_.
Since we are informed that it was the only A, I will make some
thoughts about the probable relation of the teacher with Teresa. This
is a good reason to give an A to the wrong studentīs proof.
Sometimes, inside information is very important.

Ps. I will speak to Teresa later this night...More info tomorrow...
