LOL...I should of never opened up this thread at work...people looking at me like I'm crazy now.
I did a lot of this back in high school....damn how did I graduate. I couldn't be bothered trying to explain what I didn't understand so I would run on about something different and the teacher would always draw
on the paper.
Bless

The two best ones, without a doubt are these:

In HS we had a teacher who we suspected never really read our in-class essays (the only type of essays we really had in that class). So, for the next few essays, a group of boys (it's always the boys.... ) wrote in um....extra bits. After a few times of her not noticing, they got more bold and had whole paragraphs about Chuck Norris giving roundhouse kicks to Jane Austen, wrote entire songs about teachers in the school, and even UNDERLINED some of this stuff.
She eventually noticed, but much too late to save face, IMO.

A friend of mine (who happens to be an exceptionally good musician) wrote in his music GCSE paper:
<extract played: Harry Potter theme tune>
What kind of film would this be for?
Teen Schoolboy Magic Thriller
He's one of those people that can get away with writing the most ridiculous things in his exams.
What we always do is on the pages where they just print "No questions are on this page", we just write "Why?" underneath, therefore completely undermining the examiners and having a silly sense of smug self satisfaction...
"Finishing an exam early with B.S. answers, then going and banging my {professor's subject} professor's wife."
And I also love the "expand (a+b)^2" answer. I think it's amazing that I could still answer that, even though I haven't taken a math class since freshman year (03-04). a^2+2ab+b^2, right?
I would have said "The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost" and see what he would have said. Jesus is technically all 3, isn't he?
No, all Three are One. It's complicated, you just have to accept it (if you're a C).
Well, it's not humorous- but in Calculus, my teacher asked for an absolutely convergent series.
I gave him "the sum from n=1 to infinity of zero" It converges (immediately at zero), and the absolute value of zero also converges. I didn't even have to tell him what it converged to (zero).
But hey, I honestly think that kept me from getting a 5-credit F...I got a D instead.

You're right. As poorly written as that question seems, I think that students in a Physics class would have no trouble understanding it. Once you do Physics for a term, you're bound to interpret questions like this differently, and in a way that such a statement makes sense.
For people who don't do physics, or haven't taken a physics class in a long time, it just seems poorly written.
HAHA!! YES!! I always did this during difficult tests. Even in college. I remember one day where there was a page with one question worth 20 points out of 100. I got frustrated with it so I wrote down lyrics to the Halo intro song.
"oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...."
Took up the whole page.
"oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh...."
Took up the whole page.
Whenever I have absolutely no idea to answer something, I try and come up with a funny answer, and it usually doesn't cost me anything because they honestly never look at my answers. Once, in some essays, I just wrote out the lyrics of "They" by Jem (which is a song about not following rules), and she didn't even look at them!

You just have to remember that God is like a Shamrock, small green and split three ways.
On the test-taking thread...
An story (probably an urban legend) I've seen make the rounds talks about a young man who is taking a final exam in a huge lecture hall. He's working and working as everyone else finishes up and leaves; in fact he's still working as the professor calls time. And he keeps working for another couple minutes AFTER time has been called.
He finally stops, and brings down his exam to the front, where the professor is waiting.
"Young man, you were working past time. I can't accept this exam" says the Professor.
"What?! You can't be serious! Do you know who I am?!" replies the rather angry student.
"I don't have the slightest idea who you are" the Professor informs him.
"Thank God!" says the student before quickly shoving his exam into the middle of a huge stack and running out the door.

ok, i see your point - i didn't consider a moment of zero velocity being 'at rest' in the strictest sense, but then Newtonian laws certainly aren't my strong point.
I though Apple discontinued the Newton?
good thread.. anyway, I'll be the poop
lim(1/(x-8)) x->8 doesnt exist, ie, its not infinity. hmpf. though x->8- is
(x->8+ is neg. infinity... )
and for the expansion thing.. lol. good one
ie,
As you limit it, it gets closer and closer to 8. 1/(1-8) is a smaller negative number than 1/(0.1-8). Yes it does go to -infinity but in this case, there is an asymptote at 8.
And in the case of the bottom one, it is simple binomial expansion
This thread is a gem! I cannot stop giggling. Inspired genius, some of these.
classic!
Yeah, I think I'll use this one before the end of term.. and the expanding one. Very funny.
I once found an integral to be arctan(x^2) /2 and one of the values I had to plug in was infinity and I assumed it would be undef or something stupid and then I started to cry when my calculator actually returned me an answer of pie/4. Thank god I have a TI 89.
