That only applies to vacant ministries.

Then you'd be making the other team's life too easy! :-D

The way to win MathFlag is NOT to decipher the other team's expression. The
way to win MathFlag IS to be able to predict the result of the expression
given a certain input (speaking of which, note to self, add in provision
saying that expression values in the Challenge Stage are to be computed
using the value of each "p" AT THE MOMENT THE CHALLENGE WAS ISSUED, rather
than when computing occurs. Otherwise it'd be too easy for a team to go mess
with a variable just to throw off the other team's guesses).

So, if your p is 1, you might as well not have a p (which you're free to do,
really).
