  A whale is fine too.

• thumb_up thumb_down +502

  Fear the mathmatical whale!

• thumb_up thumb_down +343

  in that problem, the correct answer is a curved line, in this case the curvature of the whale's "belly" is the correct answer. the only thing the student did was decorate his/her answer with whale parts

• thumb_up thumb_down +283

  At least in Finland a red check means the answer is wrong.

• thumb_up thumb_down +167

  awesome teacher

• thumb_up thumb_down +154

  Actually, the second answer is correct. {+-1, +-2, +-5, +-2/5} So the check next to the whale means correct as well. Teacher must have noticed the bottom line of it.

• thumb_up thumb_down +140

  WHALES ARE AWESOME HAHAHAHAHA

• thumb_up thumb_down +117

  Wow! Because a whal just totally relates to math! XDD

• thumb_up thumb_down +116

  I just did this because I didn't know what to do with it. Wish me luck.

• thumb_up thumb_down +102

  Well,if a thermonuclear device can turn into a whale in search of the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything...

• thumb_up thumb_down +101

  Happy whales give you points in a math exam? Holy shit, I'm so going to try this.

• thumb_up thumb_down +97

  Um....well that's okay..

• thumb_up thumb_down +93

• thumb_up thumb_down +90

  So Is "A Whale" The Correct Answer For Everything?

• thumb_up thumb_down +90

  Original Creator's note: The check meant it was correct. The reason he gave it to me was because we hadn't covered the material in class yet, everyone got that question correct.

• thumb_up thumb_down +89

  At least he didn't write 'suck my dick fag.' Might not have got a check mark for that one.

• thumb_up thumb_down +89

  To answer "how is nobody accusing this of being fake?": 1. It's probably real. He put down the correct answer, he just decorated it a bit. 2. BECAUSE WE HAVE LIVES!

• thumb_up thumb_down +88

  was that seriously marked right?

• thumb_up thumb_down +86

  Haha! That's cute.

• thumb_up thumb_down +86

  I think a check means it's wrong haha

• thumb_up thumb_down +83

  If the question was not what the teacher wanted or something like that sometimes teachers will say "omit question 14. Everyone gets points for it, my mistake." That would be a good time to practice your whale drawing skills?

• thumb_up thumb_down +83

  Guys, the answer is right. Look at the curve of the whales body (on the bottom), solve the equation and its the same line.

• thumb_up thumb_down +83

  I dunno... why is a checkmark being marked as incorrect? (Yes, it is incorrect... there's another check on the below problem.) (another note: the CAPTCHA reads "number regrets". weird!)

• thumb_up thumb_down +78

  Screw this. I haven't noticed the captcha.

• thumb_up thumb_down +77

  A whale! lol! I wish my teacher thought whales are as funny as i do!

• thumb_up thumb_down +76

  Hry, it's Tristan!

• thumb_up thumb_down +75

  It occurred to no one that the picture cuts out the answer line on the right side...

• thumb_up thumb_down +74

  this is freakin epic!

• thumb_up thumb_down +74

  Pi/3.14 = Whale! WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS BEFORE!

• thumb_up thumb_down +74

  This guy is smart. He predicted the fail whale well before its existence

• thumb_up thumb_down +70

  Must've been fake, yet it's epic~!!!

• thumb_up thumb_down +67

  I get why this is right! The original question was: Show that all the zeros lie between [-3, 3] for... Or draw a whale.

• thumb_up thumb_down +66

  When in doubt, draw a whale!

• thumb_up thumb_down +64

  I had a math teacher who marked wrong answers with checks, that's probably what happened here. Still funny though, lol

• thumb_up thumb_down +64

  That's a tick not a check.

• thumb_up thumb_down +64

  Wat a sxc whale!

• thumb_up thumb_down +61

  bla bla bla (-3,3) for f(x) = 2x^5 - 13x^3 + 2x - 5 = a WHALE. how d freaking hell is dis correct?

• thumb_up thumb_down +60

  My boyfriend drew this whale, and it is definitely real.

• thumb_up thumb_down +59

  A whale is not fine It's good

• thumb_up thumb_down +58

  the below problem may not have a checkmark.

• thumb_up thumb_down +58

  I think this question is a reference from Moby Dick. The teacher recognised the pupils understanding of Quiqueg's opinions on the mathematical equation. Thus being expressed through the whale, the teacher was lulled into a feeling of great pride on the pupil, that they realised the true nature of the zero's between -3 and 3. And I for one am laughing so much I've sprayed watery diahorria everywhere.

• thumb_up thumb_down +57

  With the claSSeS i'm taking next year, I'm going to need to know how to draw whaleS very well....

• thumb_up thumb_down +57

  Eh, he still got full credit

• thumb_up thumb_down +55

  Lol it reminds me of my math teacher last year, I would put random answers and still get full points

• thumb_up thumb_down +54

  A whale is a healthy substitute.

• thumb_up thumb_down +53

  ofcourse it's right the mathematical whale knows all

• thumb_up thumb_down +53

  how the fuck is that correct ?? SOMONE TELL ME :P

• thumb_up thumb_down +53

  Apparently a whale is correct as well

• thumb_up thumb_down +49

  How is nobody accusing this of being a fake?

• thumb_up thumb_down +49

  CORRECT! We would have also accepted a seal, dolphin, or actually just about any marine mammal

• thumb_up thumb_down +48

  whales are the mathematical transition that makes the world go round

• thumb_up thumb_down +46

  Well, actualy a graph for f(x)=2x^5-13x^3+2x-5 would look like this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=f(x)%3D2x%5E5-13x%5E3%2B2x-5

• thumb_up thumb_down +46

  I LOVE this.

• thumb_up thumb_down +45

  I cannot draw a whale better myself.

• thumb_up thumb_down +45

  Haha

• thumb_up thumb_down +44

  You guys know that a check means wrong in iceladn right?

• thumb_up thumb_down +42

  The check most likely means it's wrong, the one below it recieved a check and that answer is wrong. It should be +/- 1, +/- 5, +/- 1/2, +/- 5/2

• thumb_up thumb_down +42

  Failwhale :D

• thumb_up thumb_down +40

  THE WHALE KNOWS ALL!

• thumb_up thumb_down +38

  1 is not a root of f(x)

• thumb_up thumb_down +37

  Astronomically Epic Win

• thumb_up thumb_down +35

  teacher is probably japanise

• thumb_up thumb_down +34

  You see, if you don't know the answer, just draw some random s***

• thumb_up thumb_down +26

  Best whale I have ever seen. 10/10 in my book.

• thumb_up thumb_down +26

  That is a Beautifully drawn whale...A+!

• thumb_up thumb_down +26

  that SO happened in mathmagic land!!! if you go to KSMS and had mrs. chung you will understand.... =D

• thumb_up thumb_down +24

  I think if i become a teacher I will count stuff like this correct.Any smartass answer thats good enough to make me laugh deserves an A.

• thumb_up thumb_down +21

  Fail Whale, lol.

• thumb_up thumb_down +21

  lololollolololoolollolololololololololololo

• thumb_up thumb_down +19

  its so obvious how he did that if it was an actual exam he put the answer got it right after exam erased answer and then drewa whale DUH

• thumb_up thumb_down +15

  i like how she gave him the question anyway.

• thumb_up thumb_down +4

  FAIL WHALE. Well played, student.

• thumb_up thumb_down +1

  Ultimate Fail: When you're not even close to being even sort-of correct.
