Title: I'm a horrible, horrible person.
Post by: Dr. DTVT on May 03, 2011, 03:09:26 PM: This is the last question on my 7 page final I'm giving tomorrow.

And yes, there is a right answer in this case.

I want to be in your class. Except not really because it's chemistry...

Just out of curiosity, is there another element that would take the vacant position? (My guess is that there isn't, but my chemistry knowledge has shrunk massively since I graduated from high school.)

Since Br(oes) always come before HO(es), I'm gonna guess the front seat.

I did shit like that all the time when I taught high school. Applications problems in math were the best.

Roy mugs Dirk, dropping him to the ground. Roy runs down the street in a straight line at 20 feet per second. If it takes Dirk five seconds to get up, and another second to pull out and aim his 9mm, how far away will they find Roy's body? (For the purposes of this problem, assume the travel time of the bullet to be instantaneous and Dirk does not move Roy's body other than to retrieve his wallet.)

Majors. This is first semester (they do things different at VT). I'm sure they are.

Yup. Which is the better leaving group?

It's an easy, but humorous question I can make worth a few points so that the final ends up being worth the number of points I want without making another question worth more or less than I want it to. Since I grade the final out of 150, if I have 148 points up to the last question, the last question is worth two points. Without the goofy question, I'd have to go add two points to another question. Also, it's tradition for me to make the last question on the final goofy. I believe I posted last semester's goofball question here, or at least the best answer I got from a student which was equally golden.
