Not Necessarily Incorrect

A review with annotations of  F on Exams: The Very Best Totally Wrong Test Answers by Richard Benson

Sitting at the cafe in Barnes & Noble,  our other living room, I laughed until I was wheezing while reading this book. I’ve enclosed a few screenshots of it because while all the answers are clearly wrong, some of them are not entirely incorrect outside the ivy-covered towers of academe.
