What Mathematicians Do On Rainy Days

Question: What do mathematicians do on rainy days?

Answer: Some drink coffee, some turn coffee into theorems :)

A famous mathematician, Paul Erdos is credited for having said that “mathematicians are machines that turn coffee into theorems". (However, a Wikipedia article states that this quote is most probably to have originated from a mathematician colleague of Erdos named Alfred Renyi.)

I wish that I can turn coffee into theorems during these rainy days :)
