Originally posted by RUMMY:I am the enemy to some of you - I am a high school (math) teacher. Sometimes when I give a Unit 2 Test (or a "U2" test - get it?) in a particular course, I add the following at the end:
“U2” BONUS QUESTIONS: Circle the appropriate answers:
Scoring:
1 correct no bonus
2 correct ½-mark bonus
3 correct 1-mark bonus
1. What is the name of U2’s lead guitarist?
a) Slash
b) The Wedge
c) The Edge
2. During which decade did U2 form?
a) 1970’s
b) 1980’s
c) 1990’s
3. Which of these songs is NOT on the classic album Achtung Baby?
a) “Beautiful Day”
b) “One”
c) “Mysterious Ways”
These questions are common knowledge to (hopefully) all of us. However, there is a 1 in 27 chance that if you guess randomly at these questions you`ll get all three correct. I recently gave this test to 60 of my students. Guess how many got perfect?

. Only thing we ever did was listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday once in my 7th grade English class. I might have been a better math student had I gotten some U2 extra credit questions to boost my scores!!!
