So a friend forwarded me a bunch of images that (apparently) were real answers to test questions by students. One made me laugh more than the others and has stayed with me for some time. I posted it above. I think what makes it stand out to me is that in this age of algorythms and databases and metrics, we can still have a hard time seeing what's right in front of our eyes.
To take this notion down a ridiculous path, I started thinking about this student as compared with a classmate who got the "right" answer and another student, who tried to get the right answer, but miscalculated. Of the three, who would I want to hire for a job in the current climate of constant change and innovation?
I think I'm hiring the smart-ass and hoping he hires enough of his former classmates who got the "right" answer to help him execute his vision.
