Math test responses

A friend sent me these hilarious responses to math tests. Thanks for sending, D!
Note: I have no idea where they originated (he got an email forward). If you know, let me know and I will credit the source.
Update: Apparently at least some of these were posted on CollegeHumor.com

    How did you get an SU ping to show up? Or is that a function of the new SU?

    Hey Jonathan, it is a plugin for Wordpress called Kramer. It does that. I’ve turned it off for now since my site is getting crushed by SU traffic (which is a good thing :) )

    Ha ha! It’s still getting crushed. That’s how I got here. :)

    Some of them are like some of my responses in my GCSE Business Studies exam i turned round and wrote an answer like - this makes no sense and i don’t care then on my AS Level general studies exam, i doodled all over my paper.

    How do you expand (a b)^n ?
    I could do it for n= some integer but n doesn’t seem to be defined.

  11. 11 Shripriya Mar 4th, 2007 at 11:50 pm

    @ NYAll - The answer is the Binomial Theorem. More details here — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_Theorem

    If n was not defined elsewhere on the page as a specific integer, I guess the teacher was expecting the Binomial Theorem as the answer.

    hey, just cause i saw you asked: all that stuff was sent in to collegehumor.com from people across the united states in different colleges.

    @ Ronen - I could only find one of the images on College Humor, but I updated the post anyway. Thanks for the heads up.
