I like the "elephant was in the way" one more. :p

The "find x" ones are classic - everyone's done it in a Maths exam once.

But the expand one is probably one of the most unoriginal I've seen.
Expand (a+b)^2

(a + b)^2
(a + b)^2
(a + b)^2

You get my point.

Yeah. "elephant was in the way" is funny.

'Expand' question is alright. I didn't laugh much.

My favourite one is 'integral of Batman'. It is absolutely hillarious. I am actually still laughing because of that.

They were really funny. But they would have looked more comically appealing if they were written in the exam papers with the comments on them.

Teacher comments are gold.
Yeah. Some teachers' comments are even more hillarious than the stupid exam answers themselves!

One of the questions in our science paper last year was "Name an Australian Scientist who has made a significant contribution to science research in the past 10 years?" or something
And nearly everyone in our year wrote our teacher, it was funny at the time we all thought we were funny in the exam but we didnt get marks..

LOLLL! God the teacher's writting is so messy. For my economics exam the multiple choice section a question was like, "Capital Good is something something goes about the definition" and we had to choose the examples of capital goods. then in the short answer response on the next page it asked, "Define capital goods" so i basically just copied the definition that was already given. LOLL got 2 marks thoughh:giddy:

In our recent I.T half yearly exam there was this question:

"What is the name of this type (pictured right) of peripheral port which usually has a mouse or keyboard plugged into it in a late model PC"

I wrote 'mouse/keyboard pluggerinerer'.








The teacher ticked it.

HAHA that is a good reason to do multiple choice.
In PD I used a graph from the multiple choice as a source and I got full marks :D

I heard about a simile someone used in their English creative writing once:

"She was as tall as a 5'4" tree."
