If you've watched Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segment, you've seen this phenomenon. He asks people on the street a bunch of questions and looks for hilariously dumb answers. I think some of his responders really are that dumb, but some of them are just going for lulz (Example: "What is the opening line of the Bible?" "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.") That said, the page said pretty explicitly that the question was asked on actual quizzes, which presumably means the students expected to be graded. On the positive side: they presented 40 of the 48 wrong answers they got. 34 of the 40 came from first-semester physics or astronomy. So at least it appears the majority of second semester and higher level students got it right.
