As far as your suggestion that a legitimate question

It didn't strike me as being a legitimate question. It had "homework"
written all over it.

be responded to
with mockery, it has been several years since I was nine-years old,
and I have pretty much eliminated the urge to give such a response, if
I ever had such an urge.

A straight bat, eh? Well, *you* may have found a cure for human nature,
but - at least until you can bottle it and ship it in industrial
quantities - other people are going to continue to poke gentle fun at
those who ask others to do their homework for them, and there's not a
huge amount of harm in that. At worst, it will make people blush. At
best, it can make them Stop, Think, and Do their own homework, and then
become pillars of the Computer Science community, and wouldn't it be a
Good Thing if that were to to happen in the current case?
