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?

Haha nice, im studying to become a highschool maths teacher too
any tips. I might throw in a question like
" from 2009 to 2011 U2's 360 world tour grossed $700million, If the band played 111 shows in that time, what was the average income of each show? Approximately how much would the tour have grossed if the band played an extra 39 shows, two of which in Adelaide?"
I have a math test tmrw and Im currently doing (avoiding) the homework while listening to good ol' fashion Red Rocks
