The Exam Part 12 by *deaddays on deviantART

The finals for the semester are now over.

Yesterday, a girl – not one of my students – raised her hand:

Sir, I forgot the formula for solving this question.
So?
Can you give it to me?

Students nowadays are something, aren't they? Another girl last week – this time one of mine – had a similar idea:

(Showing her answer script) Sir, is this what the question is asking?
Err... no.
What is it, then?
This is an exam. That's for you to answer.
Can I do this instead for the same number of marks?

Is it just me, or does everybody else get asked the same questions? We really can't blame them for trying, though. One might just get lucky.
