# Heh sounds likely.
I was shown the elephant one a little while back and just did a search for other entertaing exam questions =]

They seem to be everywhere if you just do a search for something like 'funny exam answers', people usually have a selection.

There are some real cracking ones around the place, it's just tough to find them all in one go =[

# ACE!
Although, I thought the idea of travelling faster than the speed of light was theoretically impossible, as time moves slower until you actually start moving backwards =[

Although if you had a "near light speed" drive, time might shift enough to propel the mass actually further, but not faster, than the light would be travelling... So you would get there sooner than the light, but without travelling faster...

# this works differently
it's all about expanding space behind you and contracting it in front of you. so you're moving much slower than light, it's space itself that's shoving you along. a bit like surfing through spacetime.

good stuff.
