Baka & Test: Dumbest. Contest. Ever. - Question #2

This portion of the contest is over. To see the winning entry click this link.

We hope you all liked the first question in our Baka & Test: Dumbest. Contest. Ever. event. When we asked all of you to think as a member of Class F you sure didn't disappoint.

It was a tough decision but the winner of Question #1 is VonOfnir - welcome to Class F!
Question: You’re on a train that leaves New York for Orlando at 8AM, going 60 mph. Three hours later, a train leaves Orlando for New York, going 85 mph. Orlando and New York are 1200 miles apart. What time will you be able to see the other train pass?
Answer:
Teacher: "Yes, you in the back."

Boy: "Well..."

(and thus begins a conversation in his head)

- wait a second, what if there is weather?

**eyes widen**

- Is it winter? How much snow is on the ground? Is it snow or is it ice? What if it's a mixture?
What if it's not winter, maybe it's spring?

**starting to panic**

- If it's spring and we're travelling around hills or mountains...OH GOD, MOUNTAINS!!!! That
means...

**jaw drops**

- MUDSLIDES!!!!!

**closes mouth and now has an inquisitive look on his face**

- But it could be in the summer...nice weather, can see everything.

**closes eyes and imagines the image with a relaxed smirk on his face**

- The animals on the farm grazing without any problems in the world. People walking around in
love, walking hand in hand. Workers working hard at their jobs. Oh it's starting to get a little dark,
must be rain. Wind is starting to pick up a bit...a lot actually.

** as a cow flies by in his dream, he snaps out of trance with eyes wide open and jaw dropped
and super panicked as he stands straight up and runs out of the classroom in terror screaming...
(which ends his own conversation in his head)

Boy: "HURRICANE!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! **crying**

Teacher looks confused and struck with awe.

Teacher: "Uhhh..."

**Teacher sees a girl with her hand raised intently as if she knows the answer.**

Teacher: How about you miss?

Girl: "6:05PM?"

There is still have room for two more students to join the ranks of Class F so do not worry. Because worrying requires proper thinking, and we can't have any of that here.

Answer the following question, most creative unintelligent or 'BAKA' answer wins the prize!


Question #2: Science
Explain why the sky is blue.
BAKA answer example: Because the ocean’s blue, and when water evapperates evapourrates goes into the air, the wet part becomes the clouds (don’t ask me how, I think it has to do with photosynthesis) and the blue color gets absorbed into the sky???

Question #2 Prize Pack

  • Full Metal Panic!: The Complete Series DVD
  • Negima!: The Complete Series DVD
  • Baka and Test postcard
  • Baka and Test poster, autographed by Alexis Tipton, voice of Mizuki Himeji

synopsis: Class F is back in the Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts: OVA Special Collection! Fumizuki Academy's popular Refreshing Festival is quickly approaching, and the student body is busy prepping class projects. For Yoshii and the gang, there's a lot more at stake than showing off for campus visitors. If Class F doesn't profit from its festival project and buy some new gear for its dumpy room, Mizuki's parents are going to send her to another school! Of course, even if the slack pack makes some money, they'll have to win one of the toughest Summoner Test Wars of their lives before they're allowed to spend it. It's not going to be easy, that's for sure. But once the underachievers of Class F get motivated, they don't give up - and they can't even spell surrender!

If you missed them there is also Season One (DVD/Blu-ray Combo) and Season Two (DVD/Blu-ray Combo) available now.

The sky is blue because it's named after the color sky blue.

Because it's sad....?

"Sir!" I raise my hand slowly, the answer adding to my brain. For once in my life, I can feel achievement swell in my heart. My classmates will no longer look with such pity, their eyes morphing to envy at the most correct answer they've heard.
What hadn't I said that? They'll ask themselves, self-respect going through the window.
He picks me, my moment in the spotlight. I clear my throat, beginning to speak.
My voice radiates, bouncing from the classroom walls and into the ears of my classmates.
"The ocean is really green, so when it mixes with the yellow sun, it reflects into the sky to make it blue." I say with certainty.
The classroom turns silent, confidence nearly spilling from my ears. Taking his glasses from his eyes, my teacher speaks.
"Not only did you get the question wrong, green and yellow do not make blue. I can't possibly think you can be THAT stupid. Please tell me you were joking, Yoshi."
My smile stays, my eye twitching as I melt to the ground. My tears spill to the tiles while my small voice calls back to him.
"Yeah... Only kidding, sir.."

Thursday, Feb 21, 2013 at 4:04 pm

Well, the grass and the color of the sun mix in the air and it turns into blue!

Thursday, Feb 21, 2013 at 4:04 pm

The sky is blue because that's the color that Sun-kun's parents painted it when he was born.

Thursday, Feb 21, 2013 at 4:04 pm

wait a seckond... the sky is blu?

Thursday, Feb 21, 2013 at 4:04 pm

This one is quite obvious isn't it? It's blue because blue is not red! Red as well know is the color of passion and Passion Fruit! So, since it happens to be opposite day every day as far as the sky is concerned, the sky being blue represents its passionate appeal full of shounen ideas of love and glory! Plus, there was that one day whenever I accidentally left out my blue Kool Aid... (I was afraid the Kool Aid man would bust down my door, sheesh) and when I came back I saw the sky passionately drinking my Kool Aid, (and yes it was kind of creepy) I shooed it away however it was too late the Kool Aid guy busted down the wall and started a fight with the sky. However, as well all know, the Kool Aid man is actually a god of some sort, so he beat up the sky. So the blue in the sky is actually a mixture of passion, blue Kool Aid, and bruises caused by the wicked Kool Aid man!

Person 1: Hey, I need help with answering this question. Do you know why that's blue? *points to the sky*

Person 2: *nervously chuckles* sure! *looks up* uh...ehe..oh.. that? Umm

Person 2 thoughts: [oh geez is this some kind of trick question?! I don't even know my own phone number! Wait, what's my sisters name? Do I even have a sister? All these unknown questions are suddenly rushing inside my head! AHH MAKE IT STOP. AGH SNAP OUT OF IT! Hmmmmmm. I'll get out of this somehow. Think think....]

Person 2: What was the question again? *shyly chuckles*

Person 1: why is the sky blue...?

Person 2: oh, right! You see, it has something to do with science...or was it math...? History?
*whispers to self* [the history of blue?? That isn't right...this person must be nuts to be asking a question like that! I don't know squat about the sky...whatever that is. What if this person's trying to create small talk so they can ask me out on a...DATE?! No no no noo way. I'll just act cool and make it look like I sort of know the answer.]

Person 1: *starting to get impatient* I can hear you ya know AND IM NOT TRYING TO ASK YOU OUT. All I want...is a simple answer...*already has fists and clenched teeth*

Person 2: hehehe...I knew that.

*lightbulb appears above person 2's head*

Person 2: I got it! the sky is blue because the planets thought blue was a boring color so they hired aliens to take their blue and paint it on our sky! Their farts also explain where the clouds came from if you wanted to know that too. It totally makes sense once you think long and hard about it. I'm totally into extra..extra...terr...extraterennial things so I would know. *stands proudly with hands on hips and smiles*

Person 1: you've got to be kidding me...
* person 1 walks away*
Person 1 whispers: [and it's pronounced extraterrestrial...idiot.]

Person 2: *with a confused look* did I do something wrong?
