Math Jokes
Four squared and four
and plus one jokes
1. Four friends have been doing really well in their calculus class: they have been getting top grades for their homework and on the midterm. So, when it's time for the final, they decide not to study on the weekend before, but to drive to another friend's birthday party in another city - even though the exam is scheduled for Monday morning. As it happens, they drink too much at the party, and on Monday morning, they are all hung over and oversleep.
When they finally arrive on campus, the exam is already over. They go to the professor's office and offer him an explanation: "We went to our friend's birthday party, and when we were driving back home very early on Monday morning, we suddenly had a flat tire. We had no spare one, and since we were driving on backroads, it took hours until we got help." The professor nods sympathetically and says: "I see that it was not your fault. I will allow you to make up for the missed exam tomorrow morning."
When they arrive early on Tuesday morning, the
students are put by the professor in a large lecture hall and are seated so far
apart from each other that, even if they tried, they had no chance to cheat.
The exam booklets are already in place, and confidently, the students start
writing. The first question - five
points out of one hundred - is a simple exercise in integration, and all four
finish it within ten minutes. When the
first of them has completed the problem, he turns over the page of the exam
booklet and reads on the next one: Problem
2 (95 points out of 100): Which tire went flat?
