I wish we had cool questions like that in my course's midterms.

The calculus ones are just lame. "What is the rate of increase of a person's shadow projecting, as he/she is walking on a street 30 meters wide, and 18 meters to the parallel point across the street from the lamp projecting the light?"

None of my class even got that question. The rate of increase as you go TOWARDS a lamp on a street is actually a decrease. Well, it's the professor's fault for not specifying.
