I asked my wife that question and she responded, "Cause I want too."

So, then I insisted on a more serious answer then she looked at the screen and said, "Oh, you're just trying to get me to be you're brain."

For the longest time I thought those "create a sentence using the following words" was literally "create a single sentence with all these words." This often lead to insane sentences and my ongoing confusion when I failed to get full points.

I was a very literal as a kid. ... Still am to some extent.

This one came off a preparatory LSAT I took some years back...

In Holt vs Woodhurst, precedent was established that a parent or legal guardian may be held vicariously liable in tort for a minor wherein preexisting statutes appertain. Assume a ten-year old child suffering from a violent schizophrenic condition, Susan, the daughter of Mary, assaults a local law enforcement officer, James, with intent to harm. It may be established that, having foreknowledge of the condition and the means to control such, Mary possesses a legal duty to monitor her child's behavior. Further assuming that no breach of care took place, yet James was injured, argue the case for punitive damages against Mary.

...as it turns out, at least in this particular exam, there was no argument to be made; it was intended to gauge our knowledge of liability as regards minors. Answering the actual question (as I did...) led to an immediate failure.

So the best way to pass that question is to leave no answer at all? Blank?

Unfortunately you must respond to every question in a LSAT, a blank field is counted as a wrong answer. As such, the "best" way of going about it was to refute that a case even existed. Essentially, avoid following the directions.

There was some consolation in later discovering that the majority of applicants fail that sort of question.

I took an elective focusing on Asian markets in an MBA program. One open-ended question that stuck with me was along the lines of "Briefly summarize the consequences of Japan's Lost Decade and how it portends to Japan's recovery from the Great Recession" Brief meant multiple pages, and this was a few years back now.

If I hadn't thrown out all of my organic chemistry material, I'd upload a photo of the question. It was a 7-step synthesis problem worth a large portion of the exam. Each step started with the chemical compound created in the previous step. So if you can't solve one step, you can't answer the subsequent steps.

"South Africans have been outraged by a question in the national school-leavers' drama exam which asked students to direct a rape scene.
They were asked to describe how they would get an actor to maximise the horror of the rape of a baby, using a broomstick and loaf of bread as props."

I didn't get the question, but it made headlines throughout the country

Being an Asian, every form that ask for "First Name" and "Last Name" confuses me. My name have 4 words and the 2nd word is my surname.

Back in high school, at an end of the year important chemistry exam, our nutty professor sneaked in a question that was about some football team's fans behaving in a certain way and asking why they did it. It was snarky and I think all the boys pounced on it since they knew more about sports than chemistry, but yea. :p

If anna has 2 apples and she wears a blue skirt, what is the temperature outside

Hmmm...

  1. Anna is most popular as a name in Austria.
  2. Apples in Austria are harvested between May and September.
  3. The average temperature in Austria for that time period is between 51 and 69°F.
  4. If Anna is wearing a skirt, we may safely assume it's nearer the warm side of that range.

Taking all that into account, and the likelihood of someone knowing it, I'd say the correct answer is: resplendent.

Is the following statement correct or false?
Altruistic behavior contradicts evolutionary theory.

Problem: It does, kind of. Since reducing your own fitness in order to increase someone elses makes no evolutionary sense whatsoever. But, and here's the thing, altruism can be explained by evolution since direct relatives are more likely to be target of altruistic acts, thus helping your gene pool, indirectly helping your genes spread and stuff.
I think I answered false. Still not sure whether that was right or not.

If a ship has a hundred pieces of wood, you replace the old wood with a new piece of wood every day for 100 days and keep the old wood in storage. On the 100th day you build a new ship out of the old ships pieces of wood. Which ship is now the original ship?
