"Link the three temperatures below to where they individually belong on the thermometer."

Fixed it for you.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago

Incorrect, temperature isn't only measured in whole numbers. The whole thing should be solid black with arrows.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 107 points 9 hours ago

The question deserves this answer.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 40 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Take that, 5th graders. I'm smarter than y'all!

[–] mcz@lemmy.world 68 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Fine....

With fletching and everything.

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The arrows are supposed to be pointing to the temperatures on the thermometer. Notw from the thermometer to the temperatures.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

Nothing I do ever satisfies you! What do I have to do to make you proud, dad?! 😩

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

I wish my exams were still this easy

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 92 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

The fact that 29°C is circled makes it so much better for some reason

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 12 points 7 hours ago

Gotta pick something

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 32 points 9 hours ago

It's the third option, C is the third letter of the alphabet. What to do is obvious.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Because it's the number of "temperatures" (or rather the 1-degree increments between them) on the thermometer. Which you just counted by drawing an arrow to each one. It's the right answer to the question they didn't realize they were asking. 💯 A+

(I appreciate that the teacher wrote "?" thus giving the child an opportunity to explain their answer, and see if they could provide the conventional answer if given a better prompt!)

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

But there are 31 temperatures

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Only if you count 0 and 30

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I do, those are definitely still temperatures.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Tbh so did they, (see arrows) but 31 wasn't one of the choices. Tbextrah, there's infinite temps in between the full degrees.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.

It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago

my guy failed the autism test.

[–] NotProLemmy@lemmy.ml 33 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You'd need infinite lines

Math moment

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Uncountably infinite, even.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Plus all the countable infinities.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 hours ago

countable infinities

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 34 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Compsci ass answer right here

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 28 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

as a programmer, it took me more time than I'd like to admit to realize what the teacher really wanted.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Jim Crow literacy test this one.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

Now ignoring the joke, I wish my exam questions were this easy!

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

There has to be missing context, from a previous question or scenario or something.

OR just a goofed question. Either way LOL

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 15 points 9 hours ago

I'm guessing the intended task is to mark 10,17, and 29 on the thermometer lol

[–] rustyricotta@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah it's a very vague question. A better task would be something like

"Draw arrows on the thermometer for each of the following temperatures."

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 14 points 8 hours ago

"Draw arrows from each of these temperatures to their place on the thermometer." And put the temperatures above the thermometer.

[–] kitmayfield@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

They were supposed to draw arrows from the numbers at the bottom to their place on the thermometer. Context is there, but they certainly should have shown an example or worded it differently.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

or like, if they just kinda put the three temperatures above the thermometer that'd help
