Test of ingenuity
The following exam results were sent to me by a friend who found them posted on the internet by a supposedly unknown teacher. Whoever he or she may be, the person I would like to meet is that supposed student.
THE STUDENT WHO OBTAINED 0% ON AN EXAM (No laughing allowed)
I wanted to give him 100%! but I was told that it wouldn’t be politically correct. Each answer is absolutely grammatically correct, and funny too.
Q1.. In which battle did Napoleon die?
>>>>> *His last battle
Q2.. Where was the Declaration of Independence signed?
>>>>> *At the bottom of the page
Q3.. River Ravi flows in which state?
>>>>> *Liquid
Q4.. What is the main reason for divorce?
>>>>> *Marriage
Q5.. What is the main reason for failure?
>>>>> *Exams
Q6.. What can you never eat for breakfast?
>>>>> *Lunch & dinner
Q7.. What looks like half an apple?
>>>>> *The other half
Q8.. If you throw a red stone into the blue sea, what will it become?
>>>>> *Wet
Q9.. How can a man go eight days without sleeping?
>>>>> *No problem, he sleeps at night.
Q10. How can you lift an elephant with one hand?
>>>>> *You will never find an elephant that has one hand.
Q11. If you had three apples and four oranges in one hand and four apples and three oranges in other hand, what would you have?
>>>>> *Very large hands
Q12. If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how long would it take four men to build it?
>>>>> *No time at all, the wall is already built.
Q13. How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?
>>>>> *Any way you want, concrete floors are very hard to crack.
I sent this to one of my brothers who has an enviable memory of historical facts, who pointed out that Napoleon died in his bed. He suggested the question should be about Nelsen, not Napoleon. Possibly to distract from my own ignorance, I told him that I thought both he and the teacher missed the point. The brilliance of the answers isn’t in their grammatical or historical accuracy. It’s the ability to quite legitimately see every single question from a different perspective.
Kant would be proud.
Me, I’m just still laughing.
Hope you enjoy.
