The "test" reads like bad comedy. If this is real, I'd love to know the story.
Mathematically, #4 doesn't contain enough information to be answered. But it looks like parody, don't you think?

I guess my point is not so much that this has been around, but that someone administered a test that's relative to the times of the day. I remember in my formative years, both as a student and a teacher, being given assignments and test on reading, writing, and math subjects relative to the times.
What are your thoughts on assigning and giving assignments/ tests that are relative to today's issues? Does it add to or take away from the assignment? |

In all likelihood it was shared as an in-class joke, not as a test.

If Snopes is to be believed, the test has been around for years, passed around as a joke, but has STILL got teachers into trouble. Buyer's beware, and all that.
