The exam question I thought was fun is the following:
Dr. Schlambaugh, a senior lecturer at the Chemical Engineering Department,
University of Oklahoma, is known for posting questions on final exams
like: "Why do airplanes fly?" In May a few years ago, the "Momentum,
Heat and Mass Transfer " exam paper contained the question: "Is Hell
exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof." Most
students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or similar. One
male student, however, wrote the following:
First, we must postulate that if souls exist, they must have some
mass. If they do, then a mole of souls also must have a mass. So, at what
rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I
think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it does not
leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering Hell,
let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some
religions say that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go
to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions, and people do
not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and
all souls go to Hell. With the birth and death rates what they are, we
can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we
look at the rate of change in the volume of Hell. Boyle's Law states that
in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the
ratio of the mass of the souls and volume needs to stay constant.
[Answer 1] So, if Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at
which souls enter Hell, then the temperature in Hell will increase until
all Hell breaks loose.
[Answer 2] Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the
increase in souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop
until Hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate (given to me by Teresa Banyan
during freshman year) that "it'll be a cold day in Hell before I sleep
with you", and taking into account that I still have not succeeded in
having sexual relations with her, then [Answer 2] cannot be correct;
...... thus, Hell is exothermic.
The student got the only A.
