We've all been there... you studied and studied, but the test throws you a curveball. No matter how you crunch the data, nothing works out. If you're lucky you can move on to the next question. But sometimes, JUST SOMETIMES... you find yourself cracking mentally, right there at your desk, searching for a reality you can't seem to find.

I LOVE the teachers' comments...

 

I laughed, I cried. Super duper funny, but also sad because at one point in my life I could solve those problems...now I am just a drooling on myself retard.

 

No kidding...made my head hurt reading that stuff..

I could suddenly relate to the answers posted.....

Funny stuff!

Simple a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer:
x = 5

You can't expand (a+b)^n without knowing n.

I will let all you science majors figure out the other problems.

 

I had a physics professor that was also a psychology professor. Not only did you have to determine the rate of speed and force at impact

 

That is great. Nice post! The hanging man on the equation is funny. I always wanted to do something like that but never did. Looks like calc 2.

I have been working in a refinery with nerdy scientists from ConocoPhillips R&D for the last couple of weeks. We got that via e-mail a couple of days ago. We all laughed so hard we just about busted a gut. The elephant on the frictionless ramp is priceless.

 

brilliant.

of course, the degree that we find this funny is probably inversely proportional to the number of high school sports that we lettered in

 

yea you can... you have to leave it in raw form...

just look at your algebra1 text book from middle school... i'm too lazy to write it all out on the keyboard.

 

(a+b)^n = sum of (nCr)*a^(n-r)*b^r where r goes from 0 to n and (nCr) is the 'binomial function' n!/(r!*(n-r)!)
