I remember an old joke — a teacher asked a student, "If Lahore is 35 km from Amritsar and potatoes are selling at 10 rupees a kg, tell me what’s my age?" The student said, "You must be 50, sir."
I don’t know what kind of answers were written by the students when they got a question in the CBSE Class XII board exams, "Find intervals where the following functions were increasing or decreasing" and the question paper didn’t mention the intervals and functions. The examiners should have better set the question — write any answer and we will frame the question accordingly. A student was heard saying, "I did attempt question number 26 very well." His father said, "How could you do so well when everybody is saying that question 26 was incomplete. He said, "The board has decided to give everyone six out of six marks." During our school exams
students of classes V and VI were made to sit alternately to minimize
cheating. Once a student of class V was given by mistake
the question paper for class VI. Without realising the mistake, he
attempted the paper. When the result came he was declared passed to
class VI.

"Great,
how did you figure that out?’ asked the teacher. "It’s simple
math", replied the student. "We have a half-mad person in
our village, and his age is 25."
