Pop quiz (for extra credit points):

"What group invaded the British Isles from France about a thousand years ago (one point), and in what year (one point)?"

For the (in)correct and (sad but) true answers, see Tenser, said the Tensor.

Hilarious, but I felt a little guilty laughing at the jokes about visual learning and what not. I wonder if Tensor shared the results of this exam with his or her class? I would guess so. When the majority of students miss a question -- extra credit or not -- I always spend time on it during the following meeting, and I might even share some of the funnier answers people gave (after all, creativity and deductive reasoning can and should be rewarded!). But if such questions appear in a final exam, there often is no opportunity.
