| 0:00.0 | What is the funniest answer to a test when the student clearly didn't know the answer? |
| 0:05.6 | I graded AP exams this summer. For one essay question, I got an awesome barbecue sauce recipe |
| 0:11.6 | from a kid in Tennessee. I've made that a couple of times, and it's excellent. |
| 0:16.7 | I was marking a final year engineering test. I'm a teacher's assistant, not a lecturer, |
| 0:22.1 | and instead of answering the last question, some guy drew an incredibly detailed portrait of himself, |
| 0:27.9 | serving fries at McDonald's with the caption, |
| 0:30.8 | Me, if I fail this test. I still had to fail him, but I did feel bad about it. Some say he's |
| 0:37.4 | serving fries to this day. It wasn't for fail him, but I did feel bad about it. Some say he's serving fries to this day. |
| 0:40.2 | It wasn't for a test, but a large portion of the class didn't do an assignment, so the teacher |

| 1:12.3 | grade. The teacher accepted it and gave him a warning that if he tried that in any other class, |
| 1:17.4 | he might have gotten a zero. I was helping a teacher grade back in high school, and I was grading |
| 1:23.1 | a kid's geometry quiz. The question was a two-column proof, and it asked to prove that one side |
| 1:28.9 | was congruent to another, based off two triangles being congruent, had to prove that the two |
| 1:34.1 | triangles were congruent first. This was his whole answer. Triangle A, B, C is congruent to triangle B, |
| 1:41.1 | because they kind of look the same. Side A-B equals side-d-B, because they're both three eraser lengths long. |
| 1:49.8 | College-level physics exam asked for a brief description of Maxwell's theory. |
| 1:54.5 | The instructor shamed a student by reading aloud his answer. |
