lol This is a good story. I originally posted this on another set of forums in Febuary. I thought it was good enough to share with you...
Alright, so about three weeks ago in Statistics class, we had to take an anonymous survery online... so that we could use the statistical data found in the survey for the class. And it asks things like the department we were umbrellaed under, month of birth, minutes on a computer per day, and just a million other questions. It wasn't graded, it wasn't hard, and I rushed through it in about three minutes or so.
Well anyhow, he puts the list up on the projector today of all the listed people who took the test and the answers they marked down. All of this is still anonymous, so no one knows about anyone else... but if you're astute.. you can look through the mix of about five classes and find yourself. So I narrowed it down between department and month of birth. There were about two people remaining and I was trying to figure out which one I was.
Meanwhile, the teacher is up at the front of the class lecturing about how two people who took the test completely messed up the one set of questions by answering the one question in an impossible manner. Basically, on the "Minutes of Computer Time/Day", someone answered 1200 and another person answered 1800. He said that, although the 1200 minutes per day was feasible, it'd mean that only four hours in the day were left to other things... so clearly that was wrong. But he pointed out that it got worse, because someone said they spent 1800 minutes on a computer per day, which means they somehow made up six extra hours in the day! And he's ranting and raving about why this person might have messed up the test... maybe it was on purpose... maybe it was accidental... he didn't know, but he brought it up as a huge talking point on public stupidity in surveys.
So I'm back there listening to him, still trying to find where I am on the chart. I finally find it. The narrowed the other people out by number of work hours and recreation activities... so I scroll over to see what I put for "Minutes on Computer per Day"... I'm the 1800. HAHAHA I leaned over to my buddy sitting next to me, about shitting my pants laughing so hard. He'd lectured for the last fifteen minutes about some moron goofing up the results of the test... and it was me! HAHAHA Omg, I thought I was gonna die of laughter. It was sooo funny. I couldn't stand it.
So later I went back to ask him how to do something in a problem, he helped me, and I got ready to leave. I stood up, took a step away, then took a step back towards him, and said "Oh, by the way... on the 1800... I just added an extra zero by accident"... he looked at me with the "Oh no, you've gotta be shittin me!" face and just started bustin up. Then he asked if he could tell the class and I agreed. I added an extra zero rushing through a meaningless quiz, not mispelled my name on my college entry test. But it was just so funny... so hilarious...
