Programing teacher not only refuses to acknowledge the built-in function max, but also overwrites it.

In a programming competition I competed (and won a bunch of money in) with a teammate, he had a habit of rewriting any functions I wrote that he didn't understand. I wrote a 15 line function to detect whether a 2d array was symmetrical vertically or horizontally. He rewrote it into this monstrosity.
