Math test responses

22 Feb 2007

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    @ Jonathan - it is finally cooling off...

    @ Vic Grace - glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully you'll visit again :)
  • Hi found you on StumbleBuzz. Certainly creative answers.
  • Ha ha! It's still getting crushed. That's how I got here. :)

    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 :) )
  • How did you get an SU ping to show up? Or is that a function of the new SU?
  • libertarian
    Thanks. Was in India (Madras and Bombay). Got blown away by all I saw.
  • Shripriya

  • libertarian
