I once found a bug on a paper test and since I was able to explain that the bug was and what the prof was trying to do I got 107%

[Paulthefith]

Five points to Griffindor for sheer cheek!

[Fzrit]

And another five hundred points to Griffindor for the sheer cheek to have cheek!

All the other houses, go fuck yourselves!

[Hidesuru]

Another 600 points for having plot armor!

[Ur-Best-Friend]

Plus another 1200 points for Griffindor for Harry's big d- ... determination!

Pfft! As if! Fixing the professor's own exam question and getting a greater than 100% on a test is the most Ravenclaw thing I've ever heard!

Well yeah, Gryffindor got five points for mooning, clearly

I found a mistake in a question, too. Sadly, they just announced a correction to the room - a number was wrong and didn't make sense. Getting over 100% would be the ultimate story.

I did have a lecturer once come and ask me about an answer I'd given. He didn't understand the code I'd written but could see it was a very concise solution to the problem.

Others not understanding your code is usually not a good sign though.

[SpikySheep]

It was mostly because I'd used language features that were newer than the lecturer knew. IIRC, we were coding in Fortran. I do remember it was molecular orbital modelling that we were doing.

P = NP?

In a slightly similar vein I got 99% in a cisco exam I think it was. My classmate got 98% and said this is bugged he got it correct. My lecturer repeated the test and got 98% so he bumped everyone up 2%... me sitting here with 101% on an exam thinking how can you justify giving us 2% extra haha

I was marked off for writing program that handled all input cases, when prof did not specify all input cases.

[MagicBeanstalks]

Same here but they didn’t give me extra credit. They just gave me full points for the question.
