Not in an exam, but in a sample paper for an entry test into a university:
The "correct" answer, according to the list at the end of the sample paper is A (14), but if you ask me, according to the wording of the question, it should be D (16):

you can work that out easily anyway, without needing a diagram.
One half brick in between each full brick (7 in this case) on both sides of the wall, so 14.
In your diagram, why would they not just replace the two half bricks with a full brick? :P

The question says the wall was extended (instead of rebuilt from scratch), so the half brick was already there, meaning it should be included (at least the way I understand the question). At the very least, it is very poorly phrased.

(for chemistry): You are running a marathon. Suddenly you are getting an asthma-attack, but since you don't trust doctors you decide to mix up your own medicine. Write down the detailed procedure including the formula and ingredients. ( btw: we never talked about this in a lecture ever, not even far from this...)

Damn, I was hoping you had an answer, I was curious.
What's your best attempt?

Well my best shot was to get ethanol into gas form, since I recalled that ethanol makes up most of the asthmaspray.. well that's still more than a friend of mine, who had only 5 mins left and just gave the patient anabolics until his heart stopped (not kidding!).

I remember our university math test having similiar fun questions... I should have probably studied better for them...
So provide solution or earth will be destroyed, premises are that EMP has destroyed computers and calculators, log-sticks are in exhibition on other side of world, the library door is locked so no table-books.
Probably not really hard question, but still...

I doubt that was actually on a quiz of any respectable merit.
The hardest tests are philosophical, for there are no known answers. Therefore, any philosophical question of your choosing could easily qualify.

In a sense, philosophical questions are the easiest, since almost any answer could be accepted.

That's assuming no philosophical guidelines are followed. When it comes to an informed and philosophically cogent answer, it is infinitely difficult to adequately answer any philosophical question. Anyway, the validity of answers to philosophical questions are normally gauged by their correspondence to facts, truth, and reality (which are themselves up for questioning); and their cogency is normally determined by their adherence to logic, reason, and substantiation via evidence. In that respect, although philosophical questions are the easiest to answer because there are usually no definitive answers; they are the most difficult to answer validly and cogently, and this is because there are not definitive answers.
I'd argue that philosophical questions are the most difficult to answer by virtue of their lack of a definitive answer, and due to their criteria for validity and cogency (which themselves are indefinite). Unlike mathematical, or even scientific and historical, answers, philosophical answers often surpass epistemic grounds and extend into unsubstantiated speculations and unprovable abstractions of pure logic and reason. At that point, the validity of the answers provided are extremely difficult to determine, and certainty is virtually impossible. At least with science, the answer typically ends where the evidence does. With philosophy, evidence isn't the only, or even necessary, component of an answer.

What is life? (philosophy question, back in the high school days)

I don't remember the exact wording, but something along the lines of:
A particle is projected at a speed of 30m/s up a plane inclined at H° to the horizontal. If the particle's maximum range up the plane is 60m, find H, accurate to one place of decimals.

Paraphrasing
What score are you going to get on the final exam? ___
(The correct answer was 100, but most other answers got partial credit)
Another question:
Draw the movements of an electron (it was definitely phrased better on the actual test).
Another question from my Physics class (probably not the exact question but similar):
What are the types of quarks?
- up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom.
- why don't we wear top hats anymore?
- left, right, normal, repulsion, around, and over.
- this is not the right answer choice
