Well that's certainly a comprehensive formula. Favorite part is that it's 1.1.1.1.1a, lol. What questions could you possibly add onto that?

The answer is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a serious note, I don't know what half of that means. And by half I mean 95%.

I would just be really happy if I knew what any of that meant. I'm a lawyer though, do you want to sue the prof instead? I think we can staple service to the exam, hand it in, and that should count.

Some of those equations call fill five chalkboards. Professors are too soft on students these days.

I do remember one particle physics midterm our prof marked very quickly.

"I wasn't planning on having your exams marked so soon, but you guys made it easy on me because so many of you left entire pages completely blank."

I think I got 23% on that one.

The Lagrangian of a physical system is, broadly speaking, an equation that fully describes its behavior. So the hilarious-impossible-fake test question is essentially asking, “Prove that the following equation describes all of reality except gravity.”

This is obviously another joke from the clowns in the UC Davis physics department. Ah, those joksters!

Not bad when you can get all of that down in one page huh?

i remember back in high school chem class we learned how to do molecule equations... or something along those lines. it was that s1p3s2s1p1 shit... i cant even remember what we used it for but i was good at it, and i probably could have stuck with it an been a chemist. i chose construction instead.

Electron orbits or some such for each element.
I'm in construction now too lol.

I remember organic chemistry, one of the exam questions was: Starting with ethyne, use all of the synthesis reactions you learned to form Bee's Pheremone (a very complex organic compound was shown). I left that question blank and earned a 50% on that exam lol. Synthesis chemistry not my strong point by far.

yeah that was it. each letter represented something and then the number was the number of electrons. you could use the equations to basically make any element you want on paper. we made gold. it was virtually cool as hell.

lol sans gravity. Know any part of the universe that is actually sans gravity? No? Then this is just mental masturbation aka a theory of nothing. Maybe Seinfeld could change his name to Seinfield and make a tv show about it.

Lucky you. All of my organic chemistry problems were like that - not just one or two. The tests began with "you're on a large deserted island with ample vineyards. Fortunately for you, a raft washes up on shore with all the lab equipment and reagents that you could ever need. Starting with ethyl alcohol, synthesize the following:

Question #1 (this would have been around Nov-Dec 1984) was "the chemical that killed several thousand people in Bhopal, India earlier this week." HUH?! "Can you tell us what the chemical was?" "Just because you're a college student doesn't excuse you from being aware of current events."

Not really. Gravity is unimportant on pretty much all but cosmological scales.

Tell the prof that his print driver is messed up and that all the 6s are coming out backwards. Once you flip them around, things become a bit easier.
