How often do you have to call your cellphone (or get someone else to call it) so you can locate it, because you don’t remember where you had it last and can’t find it?
You’ve just won a scholarship that you can use for any one graduate, undergraduate, or professional degree program at a university of your choice. The scholarship covers all fees (tuition, books, etc.), travel expenses, and living expenses for the normal duration of the degree program. You can begin your studies any time in the next year, or you can send the scholarship back in time to your younger self.
When do you want to study?
I’ll start my studies within the next year.
I’ll send the scholarship back in time to my younger self.
I decline the scholarship; no degree for me, thanks!

You are having minor surgery. The surgeon enters the operating room, and before beginning the procedure, says a prayer asking God to help the surgery go well. From the wording of the prayer, it is clear that he belongs to a religion whose tenets you strongly disagree with.
What do you do?
Do nothing, just accept it and let the surgery proceed.
Politely tell the surgeon that you appreciate the sentiment but would have preferred that he keep the prayer to himself.
Less politely tell the surgeon that he should not do such a thing without knowing the religious feelings of the patient.
