In a school where I studied, something similar was used as a trick question during a history exam. "Which language Vladimir Lenin used to write correspondence addressed to Karl Marx?" or something like that. Nearly half of the class failed on this. To those unaware: Lenin discovered Marx's book, Capital, in 1887, while Marx died in 1883, so there could not be any correspondence.
