F in Exams: The best English, Geography, History and Science Blunders by Richard Benson, Киев

What's not to like about this sort of book? This is crammed full of clever answers to the inane questions you get asked in exams - you know what answer they want, but you'd love to write something to show how badly worded or stupid the question is. I've never been brave enough, but it seems as if some people are.

Being a bit sceptical, I can't help wondering hoe many of these are real and just how many the author has written himself, but I guess it doesn't really matter. By dipping in and out of it as needed, you can't help but giggle aloud.

Some of the gems that I loved:

Which character famously tilted at windmills? Donkey Oatie

Explain two benefits of hydroelectric power stations? 1. It keeps Hydra busy so Hercules can do other things. 2. Hydra's heads grow back, so its a renewbale energy source.

And probably my favourite in the whole book ....

Before taking blood, a nurse dabs some alcohol onto the patient's arm. This makes the patient's skin feel cold. Explain what happens to make the patient's skin feel cold.
