I searched for this at tineye.com, which, if you haven’t seen, you should check out. But it came up with a zillion copies of this all over the internetz, so it must have been making the rounds for a while. Awesome though!
Source Mr. Islers physics class. Junior year at Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach, VA. I wrote the answer on this test back in 2008. This was the last question on the test and I couldn’t remember how to solve for part a. I spent the rest of the exam trying to remember how to answer and started doodling an elephant and then wrote that sentence.
I know that other people have claimed this, but I am mostly sure that this is actually from a physics test I took in college somewhere between 2003-2005. I didn’t submit it (the teacher or TA must’ve), so it took me seeing it a couple times before I realized it was my handwriting, but I looked back at my own notes from the period and realized it was.
I was… severely depressed at the time. This was probably when I took the class at Binghamton University in… fall 2003? In which case I would have failed that course, unsurprisingly. I nearly failed out of college that semester and had to spend a year getting my head right. I also very specifically remember the test-giver pointing out the correction to the spring’s k-constant. I think we had to correct it ourselves, though I don’t know why I would have done that in pen, it looks like here, when I used pencil to write most of the time. Not like I didn’t have a pen with me…

Correction to my above post, 2007 as the year.
