March 07, 2006    I would have totally got that answer wrong!
First, I'd have thought: "It can't be that easy. The Prof. must
be messing with us. What's the right answer?" Then, after
analyzing it to figure out the trick, I would have thought,
"Wait. I'm probably over-thinking it. I bet 'D' is the correct
answer." But just to be sure, I would have sat until my time was
up trying to figure out what the trick was.  Then, at the very
last second, I would decide to mark "D" because hey, that's what
it says to do...  ...only I'd be in such a hurry, I'd mark the
wrong bubble on my answersheet.  That's what I get for taking
too many philosophy classes.    I took Calculus 2 in college and
once had a professor make every answer 1. While taking the exam,
I did everything in my power to NOT make the answer 1, taking
into assumption that my professor wouldn't do that. Needless to
say, everyone failed that exam.  The comments to this entry are
