When you spend a lot of time with someone, you really start to notice the little things about them, things that most people overlook. It so happens to be the same way with numbers. If you spend a lot of time with them, you’re bound to come across the mind-blowing realization that the numbers 6 and 8 differ in more than just one way.
It seems as if through all this math work, this kid got to know these digits rather intimately. Thanks, kid, we will forever remember that “8 is all curly (but) 6 is not”. And it’s all thanks to you.
A Warning from the Future
This child knows a thing or two about American history, and for that, he deserves some points. For those of you who are wondering, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while attending the play "Our American Cousin" in Washington DC. This kid decided to use his theoretical time traveling abilities to warn their late president to stay away from the theater – always. Both noble and comical at the same time, this student, would have changed the course of history had been given the chance.
I'm not sure such an event would have been avoided simply due to Lincoln swearing off his theatergoing activities. Besides, if you were Lincoln and a time-traveling schoolkid approached you with such a warning, I'm not sure how seriously they would be taken.
Wrong Hue
If you are going to choose a hue, you might as well make it Hugh Jackman – after all, that's one good looking Hugh. According to his earlier answers, it seems like this kid actually knows his stuff, so I sure hope that they gave this answer jokingly… at least if they did, they probably wouldn't be too surprised to find that they got this one wrong. It's nice to see that their teacher had a sense of humor to be able to see the cleverness of it all.
Hey, is that a Wolverine scratch I see crossing over the number 10?
A Lesson for Everyone
While it is clear to us readers that this teacher meant "please translate the following sentences", this pupil decided to answer as directly as they possibly could. I've got to admit; it does make some sense, and if we’re, and I probably would have given a very similar answer myself. I guess that leaves one person to blame, the teacher.
Next time try phrasing this test question a little better. It's important to learn how to ask the right question. It looks like this test brought a valuable lesson to both the teacher and the student
They Weren’t Exactly Wrong…
If you've ever played Boggle (or other word-unscrambling games) then you'd know how often we adults catch glimpses of common curse words and have to fight our minds to see something else instead. If that's never happened to you, you'll have to just take my word for it. This simple spelling exercise asked the students to unscramble the letters and put them into actual words.
However, it seems that this teacher stumbled upon one child who may have been a little too familiar with some words that they weren’t supposed to know in the first place. Well, now that the cat's out of the bag, you should admit that this kid did accomplish the task successfully.
