What's the strangest assignment you remember receiving in high school?

I can't think of an older one off the top of my head, but what prompted me to ask this is the assignment I got today in chem. It was ridiculously easy, but it was simply the context of the chemicals and what they were. Apparently you're supposed to be a doctor that accidentally knocked over seven vials of blood on a paper or something. You're given the molecular formula of each of seven compounds that are found in the vials (one per vial), and the names of the people (in riddle format--that's where the calculation came in) the blood sample matched. What made it weird was that one guy had Viagra, one guy had cocaine, another had nicotine, etc. etc. just what? Definitely one of the stranger worksheets I had to do.

I did have to write a paper once on how I would commit the perfect crime for an English class once.

I'd actually quite enjoy that assignment. I've been told on more than one occasion that I'd be a terrifying criminal simply because I'm intelligent enough to formulate the perfect crime.

Who knows? Maybe I've already committed it. You'll never know. You'll never be able to know. It's the perfect crime--there's no way to know.

Muahahaha!

I ended up writing a paper that explored many idea's that where all flawed and I was caught. I ended the paper by saying the only way to commit the perfect crime is to not commit one. I was the only one to get an A on the assignment.

Hmm, that's interesting.

Maybe I'd write one in a very dark and scary way involving the teacher, and out of fear she'd give me an A. xDDDD

I think the teacher, he would have liked those stories; but he was a real hardarse. He told me that I was the only one since he's been there to give him that point of view before and he really liked it. So, I guess I made it very difficult for other students to get an A on the assignment.

That's pretty much how I was in AP Language. My teacher *adored* my essays. There's a reason why I chose him to be my humanities recommender. xD
