Especially in third year uni.

# Not wrong.
It's amazing how many undergrads don't appear to be able to read and will spend an hour avoiding a thirty-minute task...

# I sense you have tutored a practical class.
Here's a story from my office mate, the text of the practical (statistics, computational 'practical') was something along the lines of "Define a vector, ie:v"

So the student typed ie:v and wondered why it wasn't working.

Integrate across the lion between -π and +π.

As opposed to a cougar integral.

# Im guessing the question wasn't about whether he knew what a line was
but if knew how to measure out 12cm, seeing as though he drew a lion that's exactly 12cm long, that shows that he knows what 12cm is.

# Not on marking scheme. No mark for you. *draws big red zero* *enjoys slightly*
I'm not really berating the kid, it's the sort of smart-arsed thing that I'd do too...

# Ah I get it,
A king is a ruler of his domain, lion is the king of the jungle. Better drawing a 12cm lion than a 12cm Mugabe.
