My. GOD.
Absolute, no-fooling, hideous evil.

The caption is “Answer keys to an exam that my students are taking right now.” Whoever did this needs to be fired. Or possibly put in a monastery/abbey where s/he can contemplate his/her sins. No joke: I would go ballistic if this ever happened to my kids.
I think I’ve taken that test .. no, the one on the right.
.
Every answer was C.
.
Every. Single. One.
.
I knew it was statically highly improbable, but .. I couldn’t find one that I was sure of that *wasn’t* C, so ..
.
I passed.

p.s. Yes, that’s evil, and I didn’t realize we’d decided we should teach kids how to handle evil in school again.
Brilliant. Evil, but brilliant nevertheless. It would make anyone check and double check the work.
I wouldn’t have.
Granted, ours had much more complicated patterns, and they rarely repeated more than twice, but it was much more fun to take on that challenge than regurgitate drivel.
Heh. Back when I was a grad student TA in the late 1980s, my fellow grad student who was setting the multiple-choice final exam (the course had 700 students, which made multiple choice necessary to quickly grade the final exams) didn’t notice until the exam had gone to the printers that there was a section where 11 consecutive answers in a row were ‘B’. There were plenty of exams where people got the 6th or 7th or 8th ones wrong simply because (we figured) that they figured that there couldn’t be that many Bs in a row.
Y’know .. there’s a pretty simple exploit for grading for someone who’s very musical ..
.
That’s a 6-tone scale, so it’d be a little short, but .. “The answer guide for this exam is ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ shifted up one note.” (i.e. G becomes A, A becomes B, etc. etc.) “Sounds terrible but easy to grade”.
