Kids are so creative these days. The only weird thing I ever did was write "screw this" across an answer I'd started but got stuck part way through.

There was a French test where you had to insert a missing verb into a sentence. There was one question that only one person got right, but over 90% gave the following answer:
Il mange le chat.

So what answer was the teacher looking for? "Il adore le chat"? 🙂

I remember one music test in highschool where we had to analyse some piece by Beethoven, and I had some fun completely overanalysing it, claiming that some little phrase was an inversion of part of the first theme with a rhythmical change, or something like that. I got a top grade for that, and I don't think the teacher noticed that it was a parody.

Originally posted by NordlysI did that with some piece of literature in college (the last time I went). The teacher was one of those who saw symbolism in everything, and I had a field day. I just parroted back a lot of the carp she'd spouted during the semester, creating links between works, etc. It was quite a masterful bit of creative writing.
