Careful Soldier, That's A Trap
You're walking into an exam feeling confident until you see "If true, why?" and suddenly your brain short-circuits faster than an ungrounded circuit in a thunderstorm. That deceptively simple follow-up question transforms what should be a straightforward true/false into a psychological torture device. It's the academic equivalent of Tom luring Jerry into a false sense of security before whacking him with the conceptual baseball bat of "explain your reasoning." The professor isn't testing your knowledge—they're testing your ability to articulate complex reasoning under pressure while your neurons frantically fire like they're playing hot potato with your last brain cell.

The Bag Bamboozle
The question asks how many bags are needed to hold 63 kg of rice divided into 7 bags... which is obviously 7! But the sneaky wording makes you second-guess the obvious answer. It's the mathematical equivalent of asking "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" 😂 This is basically every math teacher's attempt to catch students who don't read carefully. The problem statement literally gives you the answer while trying to trick you into doing unnecessary division. Math teachers everywhere are high-fiving each other over this one!
