Kids. Some are smarter than others. But sometimes the kids that are considered the least smart and apt to be failing at school are actually the brightest of all. Take a look at this list compiled by Bored Panda to see what we mean. Are any of the funny test answers you can see below correct? Technically, no. But these genius kids aren't thinking technically. They're thinking much deeper than that. They see THROUGH the question in order to get to the very heart of what's being asked. And that takes brains, which is why we think that all these child prodigies deserve an A for Awesome on their test answers. Or, at the very least, an E for Effort.
Seen any answers that are so wrong they're actually really creative ideas? Then share them with us below, and don't forget to vote for these smart kids who are surely going far in life!

And in addition to that, this is a fairly simple math problem (36-29), so how would a child young enough to get that question understand what diabetes was, what caused it, and how to punctuate that statement properly?

Translation: The life here is bad. The working condition is not good and lacks employee benefits. However, please do not worry. Only about 10 people get serious injuries everyday and I am very careful. We have opened a small shop and business is not bad. Although I am not very good with the English language, I know enough to understand what the westerners are speaking. Hope that I can make a name for myself. I am working very hard here and will take good care of myself. How is everyone? I missed all of you a lot and hope that we can meet again.

I bet the teacher never expected a student to know how to write Mandarin or Cantonese (alas, I cannot tell the difference!.

Neither can I and I know Mandarin. As far as I know, Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese, like an accent.

Giraffes Are Heartless Creatures
Anthony Paletta 9 years ago
I know you people wonder what the correct answer should be and it's Lamarack's. (Giraffe's grew longer necks to adapt to their environment and gave it on to their offspring).
Sophia Herman 9 years ago
actually giraffes had genetic mutations (longer necks) and the ones that didn't have the mutation died out while the ones with the mutation bred and made the species more adapted to the environment. That's Darwin's theory of evolution; your offspring won't just grow wings at birth in the womb one day because you threw yourself off a bridge twice a day, sadly life doesn't work like that.

This illustration would make you think giraffes are Republicans. In addition, it could also illustrate Darwin's theory that the fittest (best adapted) creatures will survive and be more likely to reproduce.
