What's the funniest question you've seen on a test?

[Rand-m]

My Communications Technology teacher in Grade 10 used to give out "Mr. Davis' General Knowledge Test" every Friday. He asked us questions like, "When running, do all four of a horse's hooves leave the ground at any one time?" and "What is the name of the Qwik-E-Mart clerk in The Simpsons?". Sometimes they were ridiculously easy, other times ridiculously difficult. The highest mark in the class got a piece of his ancient coin collection.

Mr. Davis was one of my favorite teachers ever.

 

[Lexodus]

"Which group of people are most at risk of getting AIDS?", and a line to write any answer.

It was the only test question in the world where I was able to get full credit for writing "Porn stars, gay guys, and really horny couples."

We were having a test on Canada and my teacher put a question like "The greatest rock band of all time comes from Canada. Which band is this?" and it only had one answer that said "Rush". The funnier part was that about five different people came up to him during the test saying "Uhh... number 27 only has one answer. Was that a typo?" because they didn't get the joke at all.

That teacher is almost as cool as Mr. Raedeke, my previous computer teacher; he played the music video to Dio's Holy Diver in class during a lecture about the 80's.

Hah, my old Physics teacher was like that. His name, ironically, was Mr. Rockett. There was a sign in his room that said "It's not Rockett science". Anyway, he taught us A-Level about chain reactions in nuclear fission and played during the entire lesson that song, I think it's actually called Chain Reaction:

Spoiler: Chain Reaction

I paid him back in my final ever lesson with him by sneaking my mp3 player into the class, hooking it up to his computer, and playing Rocket(t) Man. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzrKlEtxTx4] At full volume.

Just NO. Diana Ross did the only version. THE ONLY VERSION, ya hear?!

I got geometry questions that said "find X." I circled the X on the problems, and got 100%.

I had some biology questions once and I could answer all of them except for the one, which I said involved ancient goblin magic. I actually got a tick for it as well.
If you're wondering why I quoted you it's to say that your avatar and name are awesome.

 

[Tolerant Fanboy]

The question itself was rather unamusing, but it was one of the notes that got me: "Assume a spherical walrus." Since then, that has become an injoke between me and my friends who also took that class.

Also, that time I had to convert Warp factor to knots. Pretty cool.

Just about anything on the G.O.A.T. in Fallout 3, just haven't seen any realy silly test questions anywhere

 

[Darth Pope]

I can't remember the exact wording but it was something to the effect of:

How long was the Hundred Years War?

A: 90 Years

B: 100 Years

C: 101 Years

D: 99 Years

The answer that was marked as correct was B, but shame on my English 12 teacher because they are in fact all wrong. The Hundred Years War lasted 116 years.

something on the lines of stand up do ten jumping jacks and clap your hands and then cluck like a chicken

My professor told us about an exam he had to take once...They had two hours to complete it and at the beginning their professor came in and said he wanted to talk to them for a bit...He ended up taking ten minutes of that two hours and at the end said to make sure to read all the directions carefully...

This was a 500 question exam and they now had 1 hour and 50 minutes to complete it...The directions he told them to read was a page long...single-spaced...As my professor described it, most of it was pointless to read...So most people just stopped reading about halfway through and began working...

But tucked away in the middle of the second to last paragraph was the sentence, "Only do questions 100-200." After that it even went on to say, "Start filling in the bubbles at 300." So even if you managed to get to the questions you were supposed to do, you would probably still get them wrong due to not filling in the bubbles correctly...He said he estimated about half the people in the class actually read the directions...

 

[Lazy Kitty]

At the time I thought the answer to this one was slightly funny.(Yes, I know it's really easy.)
I had to rewrite the following formula to be "B = ...."

2P = A+B+C

Spoiler: The answer is hidden for anyone crazy enough to want to calculate it themselves.

B = 2P-A-C

unfortunatly, that's not a real test

Thread doesn't say that it has to be real... I wish it was though

 

[steeple]

why doesnt my school have questions like these?!?

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

My senior year of high school, my physics final:

Would you like a free point for the question?

A) Yes
B) No, I'm a dummy
C) Maybe, are you serious?
D) All of the Above

I shit you not. My physics teacher was hilarious.

[LeonLethality]

well in a social test from grade ten one of the questions was "why was the united nations formed" and one of the answers was "to stop hitler" that made me chuckle

Someone has been watching idiocrasy

idiocracy? whats that if you are implying I copied this (jumpin' to conclusions) I didnt it was honestly one of the answers on my test.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Your teacher is the most amazing person since sliced bread. What class was this for?

I'm sorry... did I miss the part where bread became a person?

I'm sorry... shut the fuck up.

Fantastically worded, your use of a profanity disarms any comment I could make in reply.
I salute you for utilising such a powerful tool in your obviously massively intellectual arsenal of lexis and shall immediately procure an army of minstrels to declare any further feats of verbal prowess.
And no.

Oh stop it; you're simply too kind, good sir. Far be it from such a worldly and intensely cerebral fellow such as yourself to have to commend another for their powers of articulation. I mean, your singularly important observation that the phrase "best since sliced bread" could be construed as implying that sliced bread is, in fact, a person practically precludes me from staying angry with you for any reasonable period of time. In fact, I think we should start a group dedicated solely to pointing out these obviously non-obvious, nor banal, observations about popular phrases so that we can properly educate these dense plebs and their preposterous sayings, eh? Bloody shocking.
