A university Maths professor had to compose an exam to give his students
at the end of the year. He was a bit lazy, so he set the following exam:
———-
“Compose a math examination suitable for students to sit, and
solve all questions giving suitable examples.”
———-
That was all.
He handed out the exam to his students and gave them three hours to
complete it. However, after just a couple of minutes one student stood up,
handed in his paper and left the room.
That student got an “A”. But how?
Well, here’s what the student wrote:
MATHS EXAM
Question 1.
Compose a math examination suitable for students to sit, and solve all
questions giving suitable examples.
Correct Answer:
Compose a math examination suitable for students to sit, and solve all
questions giving suitable examples.
End.
He figured that if that exam was good enough for a university professor to
set his students, it was certainly good enough to use as an example!
In the future, the professor banned that specific answer from the exams.
