So close!!!
Just one exam separates me from a WHOLE WEEKEND OFF!
I can't believe I am still alive, shame I did so well () in thermo and CRE follows the day after - so unfair.

When do you find out what mark you got?

Usually 4-6 weeks I think.

Yeah, but hopefully whoever usually bumps up my marks will have enough time to do so
I thought the following might help fill the time while you wait for your results. Apologies if you’ve seen it before. I was sent it over a year ago but it seems kind of appropriate here!
Is Hell exothermic or endothermic?
-----
An interesting question and a brilliant answer!
The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

I've seen it lol
Since we have no fun on our course any thing slightly related to chem eng/chemistry/maths/engineering gets around like wildfire, that one probably made my evening
Only ever had one "unusual" question, but it wasn't in an exam, just coursework.
"Explain transient heat transfer (so that my 4 year old son can understand it)"
Mine was one of 3 shown in the lecture, very embarrasing! I just used lots of nice pictures and when the going got tough said "No 4 year old will understand this bit of maths so probably best if they go and watch cbeebies now". The best one I thought was using the three bears story.

Oh and btw; your signature is one I have received in an email before (of course ). However, I always found it ironically wrong since in chem eng we are often told to go for double capacity, but maybe non-chem eng engineers wouldn't get that!
