Emperor's new groove Memes

This test question is pure tautological gold! "In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to... the number of electrons." Well, technically correct—the best kind of correct! The Emperor's New Groove reaction is perfect because while the answer is ridiculously circular, it's not actually wrong. The number of electrons in a neutral atom typically equals the number of protons (not neutrons!), but saying electrons equal electrons is... well... a statement that would make even Kronk question his life choices. Chemistry teachers everywhere are either facepalming or secretly appreciating this student's malicious compliance. That one point might be the most honestly earned point in test-taking history!

The meme features a physics exam question asking "In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to:" with three options. Someone selected "the number of electrons" (a tautology) instead of "the number of protons" (the correct answer). Below is Emperor Kuzco from "The Emperor's New Groove" saying "No, no. He's got a point." It's technically true in the most useless way possible! The number of electrons is equal to the number of electrons—just like saying water is wet. The teacher gave it 1 point because, well, you can't argue with that flawless circular logic. Chemistry teachers everywhere are simultaneously facepalming and reaching for their red pens.
