And if I’m reading that check mark right, the kid got away with it, too.
I did something similar to that in high school once; wrote “I know nothing” as my answer to one question in a philosophy class. Got to be the “ok, that worked once, but nobody else can do it” example, too.
A friend of mine once submitted a paper in college titled The Meaning Of Taoism that consisted of 5 sheets of blank paper.
To be fair, it wasn’t much of a risk– the class had a policy that you could rewrite papers where you didn’t like the initial grade, and he didn’t have time to write a paper.
I once cited “Martin’s Law” on a test. It was made up by a family friend and is “Because I said so”. Got credit for it, too.
Technically the answer was in and of itself taking a risk, so the student fulfilled the requirements of what the question asked.
