    So...while I was resting, I turned on my tv and on NHK channel. It was then this "Japan-easy" show came up. So, during this show, there was this part about "Kanji-easy"(I don't know anything) in which they gave out 4 Kanji words for Eyes, Nose, Mouth and Ear. Then they asked which Kanji match the correspond English word. So I tried....:blob_coughblood:

    So the 1st question, they asked which kanji was for mouth(口),and since I didn't know anything, I picked the one for ear(耳).
    *Shocked/Surprised*:blobwoah:..."Alright...I was wrong, gonna try next one"

    The 2nd question, they asked which kanji was for ear(耳), and since I didn't know anything, I picked the one for eye(目).
    * Vein pop*:blobangery:...."Good...good....the next one....50-50...I will pick the next one right..."

    The 3rd question, they asked which kanji was for eye(目), and of course I didn't know anything, and there was only 2 choices left, so....I picked the one for nose(鼻)
    *ALMOST FLIP TABLE*:blobdevil:...."**************************(Some random words)"


    Man....I can't believe that I couldn't even pick out 1 right answer randomly....my "luck" is so bad.....:blobawkward:
    (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/japaneasy/season1/02.html - the Japan-easy)

    So, how do you guys feel when encountering this kind of situation?

    For my uni if you pick only C you'll get a 60-70% score, never less. That's how I pass most of my exams.

    Grade 10 english class, Romeo and Juliet multiple choice test. My friend who hated studying and was one of the "rebel" type of students (argued with every teacher he had) was too lazy to write the test. Picked all B, finished in 1 minute and left the class. When we got our results, he was the only one who got a 100.

    Man, if only I got those tests when I was still in school.....My school(high) liked to troll with random questions with random answers and suddenly there was a straight column answer for some then random or zigzag or new column...The best someone could ever get from picking 1 answer is like 3-4/10

    you mean you weren't trying to fail deliberately? I always find the right answer in multiple choices so I choose the one next to it for amusement :p

    I get the feeling occasionally when playing blackjack. When on losing streak, it hard to stop because next time I probably could win :cry:

    That was the only test like that. My school's tests were basically the same as yours. And if I got the same column 3-4 times in a row, I would doubt it and change my answer. Basically why everyone other than him struggled with the test.

    Mathematically, you made the best choice for each individual question. Too bad. You should have set your sights lower; maybe aim for just one right

    You have no idea, here in Netherlands we have negative marking with some points deducted just cuz there is a probability to guess answers... This means if we get 65% we still fail cuz there is accounting for probable guesswork

    when you choose on multiple question, never chose what you think is correct(when you don't know the answer) because is surely wrong.....

    Try 42 out of 200, I might have randomly selected but that is the disheartening part

    Or- never change your 1st answer, as your second guess is surely even worse. In that case the first guess is usually right...

    Yet you learned from it. You failed it all, yes, but you now know the right answers. Congratulations. Your prize is knowledge, for better or worse.
