I suck, have always sucked, and will forever suck at math. I only wish I'd been as cool about in school it as the people who answered the following math questions.

Seek and ye shall find...
And really, if math teachers want precise answers, shouldn't they be a bit more precise with their English?
Very funny, indeed. What the "hard" sciences really need is a few more jokers like this.

That's funny, especially the top one.
ReplyDeleteThere've been a couple of books over the years -- "Book of boners" or something, reproducing weird test and exam answers, sort of middling funny. But you have to admire someone who'll knowingly sacrifice a few points for a gag.
"He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes."
ReplyDeleteNow that's my kind of math.
ReplyDeleteKyklops: I needed a good belly laugh, and this post really hit the spot. Not least, I suppose, because I used to pull that kind of crap when I was in school.
ReplyDeleteI found it funny at firs, but then it gave me the creeps. How illiterate can people be to make that kind of mistakes?
ReplyDeleteUsual Stuff, I think the "mistakes" you're talking about were intentional. They understood the questions, but didn't know the "correct" answers...
ReplyDeleteOooooohhhhh...! Now I get it. jaja. Maybe instructions should be more precise then, because, as a former teacher, I've suffered the painful consequences of misunderstood instructions. Anyway, it was a kickass joke.
