    Number two reminds me of a final in third year calculus -- I misread a question and did a triple integration instead of double integration and got zero points. A male fellow student did the same thing and got extra points for greater difficulty!!

    I hasten to add that this was so long ago that I could no longer do even a single integration -- whatever that is.

    Gee, I don't think I ever studied "single, double or triple integration" in math class.

    Now, poly sci was a completely different story.
