Didn't realise they used American spelling at our comprehensives, Nick (e.g. meter for metre, traveled for travelled)!

Good one nevertheless! ;7)

I've had a question like one of those for Physics, my teacher made it up on the spot.

Something like this:

"A boy drops a 5kg brick off a 15m high motorway bridge onto a car. Assuming the car is 1.2m high and the brick is treated as a particle, calculate the velocity of the brick as it collides with the car."

Absoulte madness, he also did a few about a car being driven off a cliff into the sea and you had to calculate the trajectory. We had a good laugh though :)
