The number of arrows is |students x teachers|, every student paired with every teacher. From this you get a^0 = 0, but it also follows that a^b = b^a. This defines multiplication, not exponentiation. The problem is that you cannot illustrate the assigment where Eve is not paired with Bob using an arrow, but only by not using a one.
