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
If you haven't had a chance to check out the Baka & Test OVA take a look at the trailer.
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.

My Mama says the sky is blue because it matches Jesus' eyes.
Since the grass is green, and the sun is yellow. Grass is the baby of the sun and the sky. As my teacher always says, math is used ALWAYS in life. By the equation x+yellow=green and subtracting green-yellow, green-yellow = blue.
Anthocyanins (also anthocyans; from Greek: ἀνθός (anthos) = flower + κυανός (kyanos) = blue) are water-soluble vacuolar pigments that may appear red, purple, or blue depending on the pH. They belong to a parent class of molecules called flavonoids synthesized via the phenylpropanoid pathway; they are odorless and nearly flavorless, contributing to taste as a moderately astringent sensation. Anthocyanins occur in all tissues of higher plants, including leaves, stems, roots, flowers, and fruits. Anthoxanthins are clear, white to yellow counterparts of anthocyanins occurring in plants. Anthocyanins are derivatives of anthocyanidins, which include pendant sugars.
Hmmm, all right, all right, let's see, blue?
Blue, blue, bleh, bleh?
Ha, i've got it, it all started when Dracula was terrorizing the village during the daytime. Dr. Frankenstein was called upon to solve the problem. Obviously, the only known weapon against Dracula was bleu cheese; which he is deathly allergic to.
Problem was, the town could only afford one cheese wheel because the French don't like sharing.
Anyways, a special device was then crafted where the cheese was super-compressed and its essence they blew it into the atmosphere with Cher's giant hairspray can.
The chemical reaction turned the sky from a black to blue during the hours of sunlight and all those other colors you see are just the stray portions of cheese making purples and pinks and all the fun colors during a sunset and sunrise.
And as we know today, this is why Dracula and his descendants can't go out in the day in fear of the death to the dead; while all those descendants of Duncan, Dracula's disowned cousin, can frollic around looking all pretty and shiney without anything to worry about.
The sky is blue because all the other good colors were taken.
"Heh." I smirk with an air of superiority as I look out the door VonOfnir bolted through, screaming about hurricanes. Baka, the teach clearly said it was a math question! What does weather have to do with math?! Truly I am a genius; the question's as good as mine already.
I vaguely recall something on TV about light and parti- parcle- particletes in the air and rainbows. Rainbows? Something's wrong here. Rainbows are in the sky, but they're every color. So the sky is not just blue when they are around. Actually, you've seen the sky orange and red too, when there are sunsets. Where are all of these colors even coming from? The sky is so freaky! No, no, stay calm. Maybe it's thanks to rainbows that the sky can be any color it wants to be. It seems poetic, even. HA! I begin to chuckle darkly at the dumb faces around me that can't answer such a simple question... that's right you fools, I watched a documentary about rainbows once! I'm way ahead of you!
I stand up, raising my hand proudly, and announce: "I got it! It's only blue because the hurricane swept away the rainbows!"
The sky is blue beacause his mom won't let him stay out at night.
Is the sky actualy blue? I for one wuld like to beleve we live in a world were the sky is actualy purple! sure, the teach lady tels us the sky is blue, but how dose SHE no?!

The day had finally come. The teacher had turned to Lambchu and asked her his question directly. Lambochu finally had her chance to prove her worth in the class. She stood up from her seat, her chair scratching against the ground with an ear shattering screech, and then the student closed her eyes drew in her breath. It was her chance, she couldn't mess this one up.
Lambochu's eyes flashed open, and so did her mouth and out emerged her answer. "The shy is blue because that is the color of the eyes of the goddess that peers down upon us all! YES THAT IS RIGHT! Up above in the sky there is an ENORMOUS WOMAN staring down at everything we do! But her eyes are so big that they entirely circle the earth!
"And when NASA launches they're satellites into space they have to photoshop her out of the pictures because of her INTENSE BEAUTY would make every woman on earth writhe with jealousy and it would mark the beginning of an outright war between the puny woman of earth and the space giantesses!
" One day, NASA will find a way to photoshop our own minds so we can never even see her GIANT EYES any longer and will forever quell our suspicions, and that day we will see what the sky really looks like: SPACE! But until that day, gaze upon the beauty of the eyes of a goddess!"
Lambochu stared out the window at the sky, and then passed out, on her desk, having not taken a single breath during her explanation.
The sky is blue becuase it is sad when it rains it is always crying
