    If you don't get the last one, tilt your head to the left and look at the answer closely.
    Oh, right.

    No offense, but how can you not get four? "find x," which is usually interpreted as "solve for x" is taken literally in four. The student "found" x.

    Very funny, btw. Especially 3 & 5.

    A+.

    The third one is the best, especially the "Very funny peter." part.

    I loved the "find X" one. I'll have to use that.


    My favorite math joke-
    There are 10 kinds of people- those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Heh, I enjoyed the Find x one the most, since the student took the question literally, and found the location of x, not it's value. He's correct, but not in a fashion that is right.

    #1) The student cancelled the n in the abbreviation of "Sine" like it was a variable in the equation. Instead of one over n times sine of x, they treated it like it was one over n times s times i times n times x. So then, they scooted the new one times s times i next to the x, to make one times six, which obviously equals six :]

    #3) Peter just wrote the expression larger, expanding the size that it took up ;] Rather than carrying out the operation

    People have explained #4 :]

    #5, the girl confused infinity with a sideways 8, so instead of writing the real answer to the "limit of x as it approaches five in the expression 1 one x minus 5' or whatever, she wrote a sideways five.
