"Wrong Answers Only"

BY HARINI GANAPATHI '22

“Wrong Answers Only”: what is it? To all of you uncultured snoozers out there, it’s a classic meme. You will somehow be presented with a question, prompting you to reply with the “perfect” answer.
​

HOWEVER, there is a twist! Alas, my love, this is the twenty-first century, and the meme masters of Planet Earth have realized that the correct answer is, simply put, lame and boring. Instead, these acclaimed geniuses sought to find a way to spice up life—so they did. By now, you probably get what I’m hinting at, but I find that examples often help teaching. 

For example, if I were to hand you a picture of an apple and ask you to name the magnificent, scarlet object featured, I would then expect you to tell me that the marvelous, delicious object is an apple. BUT in this case, the only wrong answer is, “Apple, bruh.”

Similarly, if I were to ask you a simple question, based on the question, your answer can either be completely wrong or just a little… unconventional. ​​
