If you can see where his prompt is going, congratulations! You're as much of a nerd as the rest of us in the class lauging were. Unfortunately his little prompt/lead-in/metaphor ended up going on for a few minutes until the very last person to get the joke was the girl being called on. For those who don't know why this is funny: int(1/x) = ln(x), pronounced "natural log of x." Yes, it was that bad...
