Philosophy exam

A philosophy professor walks in to give his class their final. Placing his chair on his desk the professor instructs the class, “Using every applicable thing you’ve learned in this course, prove to me that this chair DOES NOT EXIST.”
So, pencils are writing and erasers are erasing, students are preparing to embark on novels proving that this chair doesn’t exist, except for one student. He spends thirty seconds writing his answer, then turns his final in to the astonishment of his peers.
Time goes by, and the day comes when all the students get their final grades … and to the amazment of the class, the student who wrote for thirty seconds gets the highest grade in the class.
His answer to the question: “What chair?”
Took him 30 seconds to wrote that?
Nub.
haha clever student or maybe a blonde
Owned xD
Rip off of an almost identical joke I’ve seen before, except this one isn’t nearly as funny.
Very slick…
I would not have given him a high score. I would probably have failed him. He did not “prove” anything. He made an observation, an unproved assertion. The point of an exam is to demonstrate and substantiate your assertions. The fact that he did not “observe” any chair is only the beginning of his answer. The professor does not know his subject material if he gave this student a high score. Weak joke. 99% of philosophy students are going to notice the flaw in this.

“Took him 30 seconds to wrote that?”
Maybe you should spend more time on your spelling.
Photoshopped!!
I believe there is another one where the professor asks simply what is courage. The student writes THIS IS and walks out of class as everyone else is frantically writing.
There is also another good one where some students went to a kegger and missed the final. They called the professor and told them they had a flat. He agreed to let them retake the exam. He put them in 4 seperate rooms with a 2 question test. The first question was worth 5 points and it asked about Pavlov’s dogs. They turned the page for the second question which was worth 95 points. It asked
Which tire?
The shadows are all wrong. Shopped!
simpsons did it!
Anyone else remember this one from an episode of ‘Sabrina, The Teenage Witch’?
No?….
what shadows? there is no picture to Photoshop! You don’t Photoshop a text document unless your looking at a picture and this one most certainly is not.
@garyvdh Clearly he showed by doing this he attempted to convince the teacher that the chair he was referencing to did not exist in the mind of him or anyone besides him. I think his answer showed ample understanding of philosophy despite its simplicity and size. Not only he would have to understand the philosophy of the grading process the teacher was using.
I wouldn’t have given him a high score either Gaz me old mate. That’s because it’s a joke and he doesn’t fucking exist!!!
Here’s a true one. My history teacher told me this story in high school. The point is that college is very different then high school.
So my teacher is taking a final for a basic geology class. The class is a larger one with over 100 people in it. The Professor reminds the students that cheating will not be tolerated and if he sees you cheating he will not except your final. My teacher goes at it and is doing his best. Looking around he sees a shaggy looking guy across the room who is cheating without any restraint or concern. The Professor took notice and is watching the kid intently. Once about half the class turned in their finals the kid that had been cheating gets up to turn his in. The Professor tell the kid that he will not except his final because he was cheating.
The kid then yells at the professor “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”
The professor replys “I don’t care….”
“I SAID, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” the kid said, cutting off the professor.
“NO, I DON’T” screams the professor finally.
The kid then grabs all the finals on the Professors desk, mixes his final in and throws them all on the floor before running out of the class.
My history teacher said the kid never got caught. I have not reason not to believe him.
@ Drew, sounds like your teacher watched the movie “Slackers.”
