Yeah, autism

[–] [email protected] 175 points 1 day ago

The question deserves this answer.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Link the three temperatures below to where they individually belong on the thermometer."

Fixed it for you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

Temps should also be above the thermometer.

[–] [email protected] 146 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The fact that 29°C is circled makes it so much better for some reason

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the third option, C is the third letter of the alphabet. What to do is obvious.

Gotta pick something

[–] Mouselemming 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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!)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

But there are 31 temperatures

[–] Mouselemming 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if you count 0 and 30

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do, those are definitely still temperatures.

[–] Mouselemming 5 points 21 hours ago

Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn't one of the choices. Tbextrah, there's infinite temps in between the full degrees.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.

It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Take that, 5th graders. I'm smarter than y'all!

[–] [email protected] 101 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

This adds so much

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fine....

With fletching and everything.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The arrows are supposed to be pointing to the temperatures on the thermometer. Notw from the thermometer to the temperatures.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing I do ever satisfies you! What do I have to do to make you proud, dad?! 😩

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Stop collecting shark plushies would be a start.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

I wish my exams were still this easy

[–] samus12345 22 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Compsci ass answer right here

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

as a programmer, it took me more time than I'd like to admit to realize what the teacher really wanted.

[–] gravitas_deficiency 8 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

my guy failed the autism test.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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.

You'd need infinite lines

Math moment

[–] Enkers 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Uncountably infinite, even.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Plus all the countable infinities.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

countable infinities

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Jim Crow literacy test this one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

There has to be missing context, from a previous question or scenario or something.

OR just a goofed question. Either way LOL

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I'm guessing the intended task is to mark 10,17, and 29 on the thermometer lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

or like, if they just kinda put the three temperatures above the thermometer that'd help

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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."

[–] Mouselemming 20 points 1 day ago

"Draw arrows from each of these temperatures to their place on the thermometer." And put the temperatures above the thermometer.
