just for a giggles

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington

chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the

professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of

course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

 

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic

(absorbs heat)?

 

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law

(gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some

variant.

 

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we

need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate

at which they are leaving.

 

I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will

never leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

 

A s for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different

Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state

that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not

belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to

Hell.

 

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of

souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of

change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order

for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of

Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

 

This gives two possibilities:

 

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls

enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase

until all Hell breaks loose.

 

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the rate at which souls

enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell

freezes over.

 

So which is it?

 

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa, (Cheerleader Captain

and Class Valedictorian) during my Freshman year that, "it will be a

cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the

fact that I slept with her last night and again this morning, then

number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and

has already frozen over.

 

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it

follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,

extinct...leaving only Heaven, and thereby proving the existence of a

divine being which explains why, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God!!!"

 

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"
