This reminds me of what I did for the Math MCAS a few weeks ago.
I'm a pretty good math kid. So when I get this standardized test, which we need to pass to graduate, I don't take it seriously because it's designed so every single person in the school can pass. On an open response question, it told you there was a semi-circle mat with a rough interior and a Vinyl strip on the outside. The strip was 4 inches and the diamter of the rough interior was 28.
This is what ended up happening
Q: What is the radius of the rought interior of the mat?
A: 14. Since the diamter is 28, and the radius is half of that, 28/2=14. (Derp Derp Derp Theorem)
Q: What is the radius of the rough interior AND the vinyl strip?
A: 18. Since you just need to add on 4 to the radius, which is 14, you get 18. (Hurr Theorem)
I answered the questions right. I just threw some sass in there.
