Back to Basics: CHOCO-QUIZ TIME!


Hi students. Thanks for coming to class today. Now, don’t leave. You’ll miss the fun. Besides, Bruno’s blocking the doors. He'll let you escape once you've turned in your answer sheet. So take out your #2 pencils and stop whining. It’s time for a test.

Cheating will not be tolerated. That is, you may not do any research or copy your classmates’ answers. When you’re finished, place your test in the comment box or, if you prefer, send it to my email via my profile page.


Don’t worry, I’ll grade this on a curve. Nothing personal, but I expect the curve will be very, very low.

I will also have this test available for at least a couple days, for your more “special” (shall we say?) peers.

The highest scoring student will receive glorious reward and recognition for their choco-smarts. Any questions? I didn't think so. Here we go. Quiet now. Good luck!

10) True or False: Gregory Peck was originally chosen to play Grandpa Joe in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, but he died before filming began.

11) EXTRA CREDIT ~ Give me three 4 (or more)-letter words spelled with the letters in “chocolate”. You may not use: words your classmates already listed, proper nouns, or letters twice (except “c” or “o”, of which there are two).

  1. Damn! I don't know the answers to any of these and I'm not going to annoy teacher by guessing! Let me try to get some extra credit instead:

    achoo (sounds of a sneeze)
    cheat (something I didn't do)
    teach (something you didn't do before setting this test, ma'am)

  10. Thank you, thank you, Cheeseboy!

    I see the rest of you need some encouragement. Darn standardized tests. [I'd have no clue either, but if you take guesses, you will be among the best in class. Guaranteed.]

    Okay, I'll post answers tomorrow, and we'll pretend this never happened. Blame it on the CA school system's lack of funding.

    Keep quiet, please. A few determined kids are trying to work here.

    Thanks.
