Draw an arrow to each temperature

42 comments

The question deserves this answer.

The fact that 29°C is circled makes it so much better for some reason
- It's the third option, C is the third letter of the alphabet. What to do is obvious.
  
  I see...
- 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!)
  
  But there are 31 temperatures
- Gotta pick something

"Link the three temperatures below to where they individually belong on the thermometer."
Fixed it for you.
- Temps should also be above the thermometer.

Take that, 5th graders. I'm smarter than y'all!
- None of these are arrows
  
  Fine....
  With fletching and everything.
  
  This adds so much
- I wish my exams were still this easy

Yeah, autism

Compsci ass answer right here
- as a programmer, it took me more time than I'd like to admit to realize what the teacher really wanted.
  
  Lmao same

You'd need infinite lines
Math moment
- Uncountably infinite, even.
  
  Plus all the countable infinities.

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

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

Jim Crow literacy test this one.

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

There has to be missing context, from a previous question or scenario or something.
OR just a goofed question. Either way LOL
- I'm guessing the intended task is to mark 10,17, and 29 on the thermometer lol
- 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.
  
  or like, if they just kinda put the three temperatures above the thermometer that'd help
- 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."
  
  "Draw arrows from each of these temperatures to their place on the thermometer." And put the temperatures above the thermometer.
