New I've met math teachers who could make those hard
And that's not all that challenging:

"OK, you say math would be green. Given {insert peculiar string of propositions here}, prove it."

As for the other one, there is a fairly well known proof that there are no boring numbers. Hint: induction leading to reductio ad absurdum.

New I'd give him what for
HE: What color is math, and why?

ME: Well, I don't know what color your math is, but my math is blue, because I do it with a blue pen. And what's the point of discussing a stupid question like this, anyway? Shouldn't we learning Bayes' theorem or something else grounded in reality? Yes, I'll be on my way to the Principal's office now.
