    Was it that they just left the glass there and balanced the new monitor on the metal bars?

    It's more of a "oh sh!t" moment, than a funny.

    I thought they might have been playing a computer game, lost, and overreacted.

    Doesn't look like a German reg tbh. I's say more likely Austrian (assuming the writing on the side of the van is German, which it does seem to be). St Polten possibly.

    (Obviously that's being nerdy at the expense of the joke!)

    I was looking more at the German text on the lorry, plates could be German ( they're not Russian), I can't tell.

    The writing does look like German, but the number plates look Polish.

    Ah in fairness, I'd say 99.9% of those "student gives smart/funny answer" memes are bull**** and don't show anything about teachers.

    But yeah, in this case, the bit in pencil is correct and the bit in green is nonsense.

    I think the situation arises where someone thinks up answers, then creates the question to go with them, without actually checking what the answer to their question really is.

    Well in this case, the answer (in pencil) to the question is correct though?

    Thats my point :o no one actually checked if the answer they wanted fitted the question.

    Given the poor writing level I would guess the answer is way above the level being assessed (unless a total fake).

    But are you saying then that the teacher thought up an answer and worked back to get a question?

    That would make this example a trick question of the type you simply don't see in school tests. I don't think that's plausible at all.

    I don't think the whole thing is plausible to be honest, but if it did happen, I think it's just that the teacher didn't know the answer and has made a tit of themselves.

    Well, it all depends on how much bigger the pizza is. It may turn out that both got the same amount.

    I think most of the answers are genuine. When I was doing my leaving cert mocks, biology was the last one. We got one question along the lines of "why are petri dishes inverted when growing bacteria?" I hadn't a clue and being a smart ar$e I wrote "because bacteria are like bats, they like to sleep upside down" :D I'm sure it gave the teacher a good laugh but she acted like she wasn't impressed when returning it.

    Kids are very literal and the question says "how is this possible?" so the child thought of the only scenario where it could happen. It didn't occur to them that the answer is that the question is wrong.

    Well no - you're told Marty ate more than Luis. You can't go changing assumptions which are stated in the question!

    The question isn't wrong.

    The kid's answer is the correct one.

    The teacher is wrong.

    Maybe I didn't word that properly but the question was "how is that possible?" and the answer is "it isn't", something the kid didn't think of.
