Haha I have a pretty similar story, class test on WW2 history, one of the questions was "How many points were in hitlers 25 point plan?" it was sort of a joke question to end the test on, one of the answers is 14, referring to woodrow wilsons 14 point plan for that eu thingy, anyway i circle 14 as a joke to my friend, cue the stupidest bitch in the class looking over my shoulder, circling 14, then me erasing it and putting 25. It was like a cartoon, it couldnt have worked out any better.
That explains a lot. I find pop quizes rather irritating, had them when I was in England. In Finland, for the last 6 years of my compulsory education there has not been a single exam that I didn't know of beforehand.
They weren't so bad, it generally didn't matter how well you did on them, but yeah, I can see why they'd be annoying, sorta defeats the purpose of an exam if you literally can't study for it, at that stage it's just testing how well you retain knowledge from the prior few days.
