Whats the most ridiculous statement you have ever put in a exam?

I said that Atticus Finch, from To Kill a Mockingbird represented the stoic, forward-thinking and fair spirt of modern political, legal and social ethics.

Too bad this was in a GCSE maths exam :frown:

Please let this be for real or I'll be sorely dissapointed.

Also, why? ><

History: "How successful were Alexander II's reforms in modernising Russia before his death in 1881?"

Answer: A lot more successful than they were after it.

For my exam on farm animal management I had to write about selecting the best rams for breeding, and I wrote
"If you want a hardy, resilient sheep but also with longhair you need to pick parent sheep with these qualities. However, it is no good picking any old lazy, longhaired ram sitting in the corner, because they might be too lazy to be bothered to mate in the first place..."

...along with accompanying cartoon of a ram saying "I'm not really bothered.."

Philosospy exam - tanric sex over normal sex as a good example of higher and lower pleasures...

The same exam - "Harry Potter has made Christian philosophy more understandable than the Bible ever did."

I already posted this somewhere else, but in an RS exam my friend wrote tha Muslims shouldn't be allowed to wear headscarves in schools because they might hide a bomb in it...

I also like the urban legend about a guy taking a psychology A-level who answered the essay question 'What is risk?' with 'This'. I have no idea if that's true, but I really hope so.

I believe this is a myth. My school music teacher told a similar story but relating to Philosophy entrance exams for Oxford.

Update: In my mathematics for computing exam I inverted a rather tedious matrix and then concluded that

A^{-1}A = Success

My first psychology exam - how could a teacher remember her students names?
I wrote something about assigning images to the students - "For instance, if she had a student named Teresa Green, she could imagine a green tree".

My god I felt like an idiot writing that, but I couldn't think of a better example, so I left it in :biggrin:

I was told that some philosphy student used this an answer

Q - Is this a question?
A - Only if this is the answer.

Something along those lines.

Chemistry exam, it was a module early on like C1. Anyway one of the questions was something like 'Name x chemical as shown on the chart'
Answer 'Well judging by its chubby appearence and odd colour I would suggest that chemical be called Steve from now on'

So thats where my 72% came from... I had no idea of answer, so was pointless either way.

After hearing that north korea has nuclear weapons in an english language exam I managed to get this in after going on a slight tangent:

Kim Jong-il may have balls the size of raisins but I'll tell you what, they're made of steel.
:yes:

In my German AS, the writing question was about family structure, and I went on about how in the credit crunch it's important to have the security of a good family.

I mean, that doesn't even make sense in English!

LOL in my gcse science exam the question was:

Describe another reaction that could take place with methanoic acid.

I said:
React it with water to produce Dilute Methanoic Acid

=DDD
