Heh, man this was an old one, but it was one of my tests from US History in 8th Grade.

It was something like: Name the three major generals of the Union Army during the [American] Civil War:

A. McClellan, Grant, and Burnside
B. McClellan, Lee, and Grant
C. Jackson, Lee, and Sherman
D. Purdy, Matheson, and Babiar (all of those were the history teachers at my school).

In college I had a teacher that was obsessed with Bill Murray. On every test he would ask one Bill Murray question, and it wasn't extra credit... it actually counted against you if you got it wrong. Some of them were actually really hard, I got a couple wrong. The best was people that didn't really know abything about Bill Murray would never get %100 score. This angered some students.
Ha ha, did he get away with it or did those students try to report him or something?

Although most interesting questions stem from school-based references, I do recall seeing some funny answers to a couple of questions here [http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/math_test_elephant.htm] and here. [http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/college_short_essay.htm]

One of my friends got this question on a test:

"What color was the lone rangers white horse?"
That is not a trick question, it's as easy as it looks. My friend was the only one in the entire class to get it right.

English test: Do you like english? (Worth 20 marks) usually the questions are worth 1 and there are 20 questions, so its a 50% question.

I like all questions that start with the words "can you..."
i'm really tempted to write yes and leave the question there

Just so you know: Michael Wood is a British documentary-maker, and a rather well-known one at that. We watched a zillion of his movies during Classics class. Anyway, for bonus marks:

In a fight between Milo of Croton (Greek wrestler) and Michael Wood, who would win?
a. They would wrestle in the most masculine manner: covered in oil and sand. Naked.
b. Michael Wood would harness the power of 80's hair styles to defeat Milo.
c. Michael Wood uses tight pants to strange Milo.
d. Milo traps Michael Wood in a tree and leaves him for the wolves.
e. I'm bland and I really hate Michael Wood.

I'm pretty sure I voted for A.

My Art History teacher posted a sculpture in a distorted pose for one question. The question read "Do you think you're having a bad day? Just look at this guy! Answer this question if you want free bonus points."

The only answer was A. "Yes, I want free bonus points."

My tax teacher had a multiple choice question on a test:

What does AMT stand for?

a: A dyslexic person's way of spelling "MAT"
b: Alternative Minimum Tax
there were a few others.

This teacher was great, he always used custom tests with people in class's names in it. Another one that I remember, it's not exactly it but it's close enough:

Unsmart one night was sitting in his car, dateless, eating a bean burrito. While enjoying the beany goodness Unsmart passed out in his seat. As he sat in his car unconscious he started emitting a lot of flatulence because of the bean burrito. As the gasses built up his cigarette lighter popped and the car exploded, completely totaling the car. He purchased the car for $200 because as an auditor it was all he could afford. His car was uninsured, discuss the tax effects of this:

I forget exactly what the question was, something about simultaneous equations but it talked about Han Solo renting out his Millennium Falcon.

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" was on the woodshop exam the year the class was going to be cancled. And I got it wrong for saying "It would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood."
That was on one of my math yests. It was included to be a question to boost our scores since he accepted every anwser.
