I think the problem's on your end. I'm not having issues. Here's the main link I got them from: http://snopes.com/college/exam/chemistry.asp

Well, I once had a math teacher who was particularly personal with her tests, and she always worded her questions like "Can you" and "What would you say" and the like. I only abused them once each, so the novelty didn't wear thin, but I always answered "Yes" to the "can you" ones and something absurd to the "what would you say" ones.

Then there was one essay I had to do from the perspective of a french settler in early Canada. Speaking fluent french, I wrote mine in french, for authenticity. My teacher couldn't speak french, and the online translators he tried just gave him gibberish, so he gave me a 95% and told me not to pull that again.

And another time, I was supposed to write a letter from the point of view of a medieval peasant. I was having a bit of a bad day, so I just wrote down "Medieval peasants were illiterate." and handed that in. I got a 90% on it.

I was once asked to find an answer in terms of pi. After a bit of math, I concluded with the answer, 'cherry'.

In my GCSE chemistry there was a question in which an imaginary woman states that all chemicals are bad for you. It then asks 'She is wrong. Why'. I wrote 'She is a woman' crossed it out with a single line so it could still be read and then procceed to answer it properly.

For music I didn't know an answer but the markscheeme always has 'Any other valid point' so this is what I wrote.

I still got A* in both though.

Honestly, sometimes I get bored when writing essays and exams and write stupid things. Its not like they can mark me down most of the time. Just today I wrote an essay with an allusion to Batman in it and tried to make innuendo in a mock exam ("the participants will be aroused by this act.") I once wrote an English paper that had several references to the song "I Am The Walrus" and got an A*, which probably didn't send the right message.
I love things like this, anyhow. The opening post is one of the best I've come across.

I was doing an exam in a language which I barely understand and I got a question which translates out to "When (I don't know the name... lets call him Bill) took away (same story, I'll call him Stan)'s money, what did he spend it on". (Note: Hansa is a type of beer) I knew the rough answer to the question, he's spent it on alcohol, so I said "Hy het a Hansa gekoop" (He brought a Hansa). I ended up getting it right AND it was in my end of year exams. We all though that was pretty funny.

I heard a story about a potential Cambridge University applicant, who arrived at his interview and was prompted, somewhat rudely, with the challenge "Surprise me". The interviewer then takes out a newspaper and begins reading. The Interviewee took out his lighter and set the newspaper on fire. He got in.

Not really an exam, don't know if it's true, don't care about either, it's awesome.

I pulled the "death" card once.

I didn't get the mark though. My teacher was a smoker.

My friend got a final exam in English that was a sheet of paper that said "Why?" on it. He wrote "Why not." and got a hundred.

I drew Tiny Tim on one of my tests, giving bambi eyes, saying "Please sir, May I get 100%? It would mean the world to my mother if I could get a good grade on this test."

Bastard counted 2 off.

After having a bad day today, I managed to stumble across this little gem and thought I'd share it with my fellow Escapists.

Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Answer: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that, if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell. Because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay constant, the volume of Hell must expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Sandra during my freshman year, that "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is endothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is extinct, leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being - which explains why, last night, Sandra kept shouting "Oh God!"

As for discussion, have any of you ever seen an answer to an exam question that made you laugh? Or better yet, been the person who writes them? What were they?
Wilfy, my good man, be proud for you have every reason to be...
