Introduction

Will some students ever learn from their mistakes? I, for one, certainly hope not.

Without that lurching, freefall feeling when you don’t know the answer to the quiz question staring up from the page—we’ve all been there at one time or another—these students wouldn’t have found the inspiration to look deep within themselves to find . . . not the answer, but something better instead.

Of course a little studying would reveal that the most powerful light source known to man isn’t lightsabers, nor do we salt the roads when it snows to make them taste better, and that the Treaty of Versailles wasn’t signed by King Louis the Something, but where’s the fun in that?

Thankfully, here for us all to enjoy is a fresh batch of A+ wit misapplied to F- quiz scores.

A collection of wrong answers from various exams, tests, and quizzes. Some are stupid, some are snarky, some are genuinely funny...and a few are strangely appropriate, even if they weren't what the teacher was looking for. "Why did the Romans steal the Sabine Women?" "Because they didn't know better."

You have to give these students credit for trying. Not knowing the answer didn’t stop them from making something up. And sometimes, it almost makes sense. For instance: In music, if “f” stands for forte, what does “ff” stand for? Eighty. Makes sense, sort of. Laughs abound in this book and you will want to share them with your friends.

Amazing. These real answers to test questions deserve a round of applause. These students might not have known the correct information, but that didn’t stop them from being creative and a little bit gutsy. This installment in the series delivers plenty of laughs. A+

A collection of dumb or smart-assed answers to test questions. Mostly smart-assed ones. This is apparently the third such collection, although I'd only previously read the first one. As I recall, the first one made a point of claiming in the introduction that these were real answers from real students. I notice this one doesn't, and it's honestly a bit difficult not to think they're probably fake. In any case I didn't find it quite as amusing as the first one, overall, although there were some that did make me laugh.My hands-down favorite: answering "Give one advantage of having a telescope at the top of a high mountain rather than the bottom" with "The mountain doesn't get in the way." I mean, hey, they're not wrong!
