The Test
Riddle: John was taking a test with 3 questions. The teacher gave everyone an hour to finish the test. If you didn't turn the test in after the hour, you would get an automatic fail.The teacher didn't know anyone's name. John finished one problem. 58 minutes had passed already. John knew it wouldn't be a while until the teacher said "pencils down!" to end the test. After the teacher said "pencils down" John was halfway through question 3 and he worked a bit past the hour mark. After working a bit, he finally finished question 3. When the teacher called him over to ask why he didn't turn the test in, John somehow avoided the fail. Before getting his paper scored, there is a clattering. John got 100% on his test. How did John avoid getting a fail?
Answer: John dropped the teacher’s red pen on the floor. The teacher turned around to get the pen. Since the teacher didn’t know anyone’s name, John put his test somewhere under a few other people’s tests. John ran to his desk as the teacher turned around. Since the teacher didn’t know which test was John’s, he didn’t fail John. John got 100%!
