Yeah, autism

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

Incorrect, temperature isn't only measured in whole numbers. The whole thing should be solid black with arrows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Now ignoring the joke, I wish my exam questions were this easy!

"Link the three temperatures below to where they individually belong on the thermometer."

Fixed it for you.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Temps should also be above the thermometer.

Jim Crow literacy test this one.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

my guy failed the autism test.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My first thought was that the kid just aced their autism test, but I suppose that depends on what a failure means there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well, if you ace the autism test it means you have autism, meaning you want it. If you fail the autism test, it means you are being troubled by the condition of having autism, and were administered the test to verify if your troubles are stemming from autism.

Usually the tests are not given to people that can successfully mask and be classified as "high functioning". Implying that if you are interfacing with the autism test, it's usually not to see if your excellent programming skills stem from autism, more likely why you tend to be put in distress when lights give off a hum while you wear a wool sweater.

This particular example would be the person failing the test, because instead of correctly assuming the question was to get you to match the numbers to the correct part on the image, you failed by following instructiones too literally.

Take that, 5th graders. I'm smarter than y'all!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I wish my exams were still this easy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This adds so much

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fine....

With fletching and everything.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The arrows are supposed to be pointing to the temperatures on the thermometer. Notw from the thermometer to the temperatures.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing I do ever satisfies you! What do I have to do to make you proud, dad?! 😩

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Stop collecting shark plushies would be a start.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You'd need infinite lines

Math moment

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Uncountably infinite, even.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Plus all the countable infinities.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

countable infinities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (3 children)

There has to be missing context, from a previous question or scenario or something.

OR just a goofed question. Either way LOL

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah it's a very vague question. A better task would be something like

"Draw arrows on the thermometer for each of the following temperatures."

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

"Draw arrows from each of these temperatures to their place on the thermometer." And put the temperatures above the thermometer.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They were supposed to draw arrows from the numbers at the bottom to their place on the thermometer. Context is there, but they certainly should have shown an example or worded it differently.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

or like, if they just kinda put the three temperatures above the thermometer that'd help

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

I'm guessing the intended task is to mark 10,17, and 29 on the thermometer lol

[–] [email protected] 191 points 2 days ago

The question deserves this answer.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Compsci ass answer right here

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

as a programmer, it took me more time than I'd like to admit to realize what the teacher really wanted.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 156 points 2 days ago (4 children)

The fact that 29°C is circled makes it so much better for some reason

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

Gotta pick something

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Because it's the number of "temperatures" (or rather the 1-degree increments between them) on the thermometer. Which you just counted by drawing an arrow to each one. It's the right answer to the question they didn't realize they were asking. 💯 A+

(I appreciate that the teacher wrote "?" thus giving the child an opportunity to explain their answer, and see if they could provide the conventional answer if given a better prompt!)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But there are 31 temperatures

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.

It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Only if you count 0 and 30

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

There's 27 if you don't count 0, 5, 12 and 23.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I do, those are definitely still temperatures.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn't one of the choices. Tbextrah, there's infinite temps in between the full degrees.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's the third option, C is the third letter of the alphabet. What to do is obvious.
