I found this story about a college student who got a zero on a 100 question
True/False Communications Final(without neg marking) amusing. His professor
sent him the following email the next day:
Dear Michael,
Every year I
attempt to boost my students’ final grades by giving them this relatively simple
exam consisting of 100 True/False questions from only 3 chapters of material.
For the past 20 years that I have taught Intro Communications 101 at this
institution I have never once seen someone score below a 65 on this exam.
Consequently, your score of a zero is the first in history and ultimately
brought the entire class average down a whole 8 points.
There were two
possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100
questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with a least a quarter of the
answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this
brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year!
May God
have mercy on your soul.
Sincerely,Professor William Turner
P.S. If all
else fails, go with B from now on. B is the new C.
So, have you ever just
filled in the answers at random on a multiple choice test?
Update: Here is a
picture of the student’s actual test. Notice the T and F

In my professional travels I came across a young lady called Kulvinder
Bill-Stickers. I waited till I was just sufficiently acquainted with her to
ask how she came by such a radical name. She said her father had come with a
lot of Punjabi immigrants on a ship from Bombay to Southampton some years
before and on the voyage he had become sick and tired of being confused with all
the other Singhs that were on the ship. He took a private and stubborn vow,
as one sometimes irrationally does, to change his name to the first word
that he saw when he set eyes on England. The ship docked and from the
railings Mr Singh saw the epithet 'BILL-STICKERS WILL BE PROSECUTED'
stencilled in paint on a wall. It's a notice telling people not to put up
posters there, just as 'COMMIT NO NUISANCE' on Indian walls means "don't
piss or crap here."Mr Singh had run up against a dilemma. Was 'Bill-Stickers' one word or two, and what was this little dash between them? He made urgent enquiries and a friendly lexicographer in the Southampton docks pub told him it was, in England, considered a single hyphenated word. So there he was, Mr. Harjinder Bill-Stickers, who begat Kulvinder. One hopes she has a brother so that the last name survives.
Just think of the possiblities of the last name they could have got. :)
