@MissPixiePancake I mean it's a good question. who is susan?
@MissPixiePancake I reckon Wojcicki had at least a few crayons
Willow :bhjflag_bisexual::anarchy_punk_demiboy:@root @MissPixiePancake I mean it was probably meant to be "Jane" and not Susan but yeah, it basically makes the task unsolvable if you were to read it literally 
@witix @MissPixiePancake Brett and Eddy have 70 triangles.
a) How many triangles are needed to form the largest triangle pyramid?
b) How many triangles can be found in the triangle pyramid?
c) What is the total surface area and volume of the pyramid?
d) Using Fourier transform, find the frequency and wave length of the pitch emitted by the triangle. Draw a graph, too.

Cegorach@MissPixiePancake And how could fish swim away from a pond?
Argie@dat @MissPixiePancake Also, one could just as well ask "Who is Jane?" and "Who is Kim?"

Sass, David@dat @MissPixiePancake exactly!
Ann H@sassdawe @dat @MissPixiePancake To the big pond in the sky. That last fish has questions to answer.
Christen Lofland@dat @MissPixiePancake this is how I got into so much trouble at school.

CM Harrington@MissPixiePancake It's the missing link between Madonna's feature films Who's That Girl, and Desperately Seeking Susan!
Curioso 🍉 🇺🇦 (jgg)Brilliant kid. It took me some time to see the mistake.
Mike McCaffrey@MissPixiePancake @alice That question has the same energy as the SNL workout mirror sketch and "Who is Shannon Delgado?".

dragonfrog@MissPixiePancake Question 3 also deserves a failing grade for the test setter.
There are (present tense) 8 fish in the pond. 7 fish swam (past tense) away. How many are (present tense) left in the pond?
The question presumably wants the result given, 8 - 7 = 1, but the answer to the question as actually asked is 8.
If you want the test taker to do arithmetic you'd have to ask how many fish were (past tense) in the pond *before* the 7 swam away - answer being 8 + 7 = 15.
@MissPixiePancake
I say this with a recognition that it's really hard to set exam questions. My mom taught, and would go over her test questions looking for ambiguity, then get me to look over them for ambiguity and I'd usually catch something.
Then she'd get the tests back and somewhere a student had understood a question differently from how she'd intended it - but it was a legit misunderstanding - so she marked the answer they gave to their understanding of the question, not what she meant
Bonkers@dragonfrog @MissPixiePancake well, fish can't just swim away, it's a flipping pond.
DarcyThis answer would have so been me!!!
SpaceLifeFormThat is excellent reading comprehension.
Aedius Filmania ⚙️🎮🖊️Also ... Fish can't swim away of a pond.
🇨🇦 CowMan 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇲🇽@Aedius @MissPixiePancake pond could have a river
Oh god, you are right, I always translated a pond to "une marre" in french who doesn't have a river and never to "un étang" who has a river.
And ... It's the same word in English, it change so many landscape description that I read in books and stuff ...
What a nightmare.
joe@MissPixiePancake
Answer 3: Do they leave the pond or they swim out of sight. If the latter then 8.

@MissPixiePancake, are the branches part of the same tree?

"That's an F, the correct answer is 7. Susan was never mentioned so therefore she has 0 crayons." (There's definitetly some teachers that would argue this to their death. Don't ask me how I know...)

Becca@the_moep that sort of thing has become pervasive.. "just guess what they meant"
me: NO! Communicate back and get it clarified instead of assuming.
many people are too uncomfortable with things being undecided, even at the price of assigning incorrect values.
Dagnabbit, Pascaline! 💥There ARE 8 fish in the pond.
7 fish SWAM away.
How many fish are left in the pond?!
This is a crazy question.
The only good answer is 8. Because there ARE 8 fish in the pond. After swam away.
And yes, who is Susan? 💖

@MissPixiePancake but where did those 7 fish swim off to?
Rupert 🇪🇺🏴☠️😾🔭📷🍺🍪🌍🔥@MissPixiePancake Let us assume Susan wrote the question. Susan has lots of crayons, she hasn't mastered pens yet.

The next question is great, too. The fish swam away from a pond? Must have been during a heavy flooding …

Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)@MissPixiePancake @billgoats I had a High School teacher who did that as an intentional gotcha. Everyone who did the sensible thing and assumed that was a typo and Susan was Jane got marked down because "you didn't spot that it's unsolveable".

Sp4rkler 3rickson@MissPixiePancake Technically, unless there was a waterway out of the pond, there are still eight fish in the pond. They're just in a different part of the pond.
Model Maker VilleAre the branches on the same tree?
Is there another pond next to the original that the fish jumped into?
