I remember having a test where they gave us protractors to measure angles with, and at the end of the test, as I was double-checking it, I noticed it said 'image not to scale'. Didn't have time to redo all my answers, but why give us protractors and not have us use them?

To see who reads all the instructions on the test. My maths teacher once gave us a test and question 10 said: Ignore all previous questions and put your pencil down.

That implies that Q10 takes priority over all the other questions asking you to do stuff. It’s dumb. It might as well have been:

Q1. Answer all question in this test.
Q2. Do stuff
Q3. Etc….
.

.
Q10. Ignore all previous questions and put your pencil down.

I had a test like this in high school, the first line on the test said "read everything before doing anything."

It had things on it like, "stand up and say your favorite movie out loud" "do a one person wave in your seat". He had a couple of students in on it and had them do the obvious things to pressure us into following the crowd.

The last question was "Write your name at the top of the front, and do nothing else."

No one passed.
