"Hell" Exam answer.....funny...

I don't know if you have seen this or not.. but I just saw this:

BONUS QUESTION ON CHEMISTRY EXAM


The following is supposedly an actual question given on University of Washington chemistry mid-term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question:

Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A".

I want to be friends with this man. :|

Best. Answer. Ever.

Lol this probably wasn't really written on an exam by some student, just made up.

Still funny though:lol:

Wow. "A" well deserved, even if he got the answer wrong. :?Mr_Leonis

My Chem teacher showed this to us two years ago.

Its still funny :lol:

This is old, but it never loses its funny :Plobodob

I had never heard it before so it's new to me. That's awesome.

This and the Dihydrogen Monoxide project are the greatest pieces of schoolwork ever done.MetroidPrimePwn

that actually got my whole class. We were like Holy ****.

I haven't seen that before either.

The chemical compound dihydrogen monoxide (or DHMO) has been implicated in the deaths of thousands of Americans every year, mainly through accidental ingestion. In gaseous form, it can cause severe burns. And, according to a new report, "the dangers of this chemical do not end there."

The chemical is so caustic that it "accelerates the corrosion and rusting of many metals, . . . is a major component of acid rain, [and] . . . has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients." Symptoms of ingestion include "excessive sweating and urination," and "for those who have developed a dependency on DHMO, complete withdrawal means certain death."

Yet the presence of the chemical has been confirmed in every river, stream, lake and reservoir in America.

Judging from these facts, do you think dihydrogen monoxide should be banned?

Sounds like a bad professor to me. I would drop the class if the professor asked me a question like that in chem.Pittfan666

It's bonus. It's not supposed to be easy. My psychics teacher was telling me class the other day that people keep coming to him asking if they can do bonus or get bonus questions on tests. You know what he said? That saying we have time for bonus means we have time for more homework to help us learn the material more because bonus is a scam for those too lazy to do work.

That kid doesnt know it yet but we are now best friends and its good to know his teacher has a great sense of humor :lol: Congradulations kid sometimes the line between smart and smart a$$ isnt as thick as people think...I need to save this

On topic, this is entirely awesome, kinda old though.

The most epic facepalm moment in any of my science classes was in my Accelerated Biology class, after the teacher was talking about how we're the top 5% of our class and whatnot, and how we're all among the best of our grade level.

So he's telling us about how this isn't the sort of class where you just copy down what he says and then give it back to him, telling us how we have to actually work and whatnot, when he pulls out what seems to be his favorite joke,"Yes, you have to think in this class. Think. Yeah, I know, it's a four letter word..."

So this one kid, total smartass, kind of kid who makes fun of EVERY single mistake everybody ever makes, shoots his hand up in the air and shouts,"No it's not, it's SIX!"

I wish I was this dude...:lol:7guns

Same here :P

That's an urban myth, im afraid. It's on a par with the 'What is courage' philosophy question.Chavyneebslod

Oooh, tell more.

freakin hilarious

i've seen it before, but it hasnt lost teh lulz

This is old, but it never loses its funny :Plobodob
