While we all remember school being at least a little difficult at times, at least some students are taking the difficulties of learning with a smile and a laugh.  At least we hope so.  Here are 10 of the most bizarre exam answers and incorrect test taking strategies.

Let’s face it, the answer is correct.  An elephant would stop almost anything coming down the ramp.

This is a description of a the graph, just not quite what the teacher was looking for in this incorrect exam answer.

Tracey is apparently wrong when trying to do math.

The answer was correct, just the exam answer has a little surprise at the end.  Plus, they still got an A.

This exam answer has a new take on expanding an equation.

This is not quite what the teacher was going for.

Ok, the story behind this one is a classic.  The test was true/false, meaning the only two answers were A or B.  This student took the easy, and classic route, and marked C for every answer.  Now, in most cases, this is supposed to give you at least a decent grade, unless it is a true/false test.

I have to agree with his though.  Tetris is more fun than math.

At least this student had a sense of humor on this test, and displayed a certain level of creativity.

It was signed at the bottom.  Just looked at it, and this test answer is correct, in its own way.

Restore Task Manager (taskmgr.exe, taskman.exe), Regedit (regedit.exe) & Command Prompt (cmd.exe, command.com)

If you have previously been invited by a virus, trojan or some spyware, Even if you had some anti-virus installed and updated, you can still be infected by a new or custom made malicious application that is not recognized or doesn’t have a signature from your antivirus software. After removing some of these viruses from your windows system, you may have new issues or problems such as you can no longer bring up Windows Task Manager from CTRL+ALT+DEL. You will get the error message saying “Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator”.

You think that it’s easy to fix this problem by going to Registry Editor but you can’t! You get the error message “Registry editing has been disabled by your administrator“.

Or if you like working on the console using your cmd application, and when launching i you get the error message below,
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.

Press any key to continue . . .

These are all signs of Windows Security Restrictions that are commonly set on Windows XP, Windows Vista and various other Microsoft OS’s and are usually caused by policies, registry changes and other nasty lockdowns – by your admins, from a virus/trojan infection or worse..

Thankfully there is a really simple fix.. just download the application below, click the button and you’re done! – You don’t even usually need to reboot!

Any comments/feedback – let me know!
I created this application to re-enable the taskmanager, command prompt and registry editing tools on a PC to cleanup any leftover nasties – I am learning to code a little more

This application is also FREEWARE! – meaning it costs you nothing to download, nothing to use.. enjoy!

Do you ever daydream about how you could get enough money to never have to worry about money again? Winning the lottery and getting away with robbing a bank are two of the most common fantasies that people have about getting rich. Of course, most people learn to live frugally and don’t ever experience either of these things. Nevertheless, there are a few people who do win the lottery and a handful of people who make their money by robbing banks.

Let’s take a look at 20 of the most shocking bank robberies in history:

1. Guards Steal $300 Million from Baghdad Bank. Also in 2007, guards working at the Dar Es Salaam bank in Baghdad stole $300 million from the bank during their overnight shift. This is just the most shocking of many bank robberies that have taken place in Iraq since the U.S. invasion of the country.
2. Saddam Hussein Steals $1 Billion from Iraq’s Central Bank. Iraq had troubles even before the U.S. invasion. It is believed that personal assistants of Saddam Hussein looted the Iraq Central Bank in the days leading up to the U.S. invasion and stole approximately $1 billion.
3. Bank Robber Wins Lottery. This case is shocking because of the pure and simple fact that a bank robber managed to actually win a million dollar lottery. Back in 2007, Timothy Elliott won one million dollars on a scratcher lottery ticket. However, he was on probation for robbing not one but two banks. A rule of his probation was “no gambling” and playing the lottery is gambling so this winner didn’t end up winning anything after all!
4. Northern Bank Robbery of 2004. The Northern Ireland Peace Process was thrown into crisis in 2004 when a gang stole £26.5 million in pounds sterling from the headquarters of the Northern Bank. This was one of the biggest bank robberies in the history of the UK.
5. United California Bank Robbery of 1972. Professional burglars broke into this California bank in 1972 and managed to pull off one of the biggest bank robberies of that time stealing about $30 million. They would have gotten away with it except that they had also committed a similar bank robbery in another state and were caught for that one.
6. Butch Cassidy’s 1889 Bank Robbery. This criminal managed to steal a lot of money during his career. It was his 1889 bank robbery that really stood out, though. He managed to make off with $20,o00 – a real fortune during that time!
7. Loomis Fargo Bank Robbery of 1997. Sometimes it’s just too tempting for the workers at banks to keep their hands off of the money. In this case, an armored truck driver teamed up with the vault supervisor and over one dozen other people to pull off a bank robbery totally over $17 million. They didn’t succeed, though, and most of the money was recovered.
8. Dunbar Armored Car Robbery of 1997. The same year as the Loomis Fargo Bank Robbery, there was this bank robbery. It was also committed by insiders – the regional safety inspector for the armored car depot and some cohorts. They made off with over $18 million, the largest actual cash robbery in the United States to date.
9. Largest Bank Heist in Pakistan. In 2009 the guards at a Pakistan bank helped lead a robbery that resulted in nearly $4 million stolen, the biggest bank heist in the history of the country. What’s really shocking is that the bank that was robbed sits less than 100 metres from city police headquarters and yet the criminals got away.
10. 1992 Bank of France Robbery. Yet another inside job, a bank employee teamed up with robbers to steal approximately $30 million and a bank van. They were a rough group; threatening the bank’s guard by holding his family hostage and strapping explosives to him so that he would cooperate. The criminals were eventually caught but the money was not recovered.
11. Manual Delgado’s $20,000 Police Shootout. This criminal stole $20,000 from a U.S. bank back in 1980.What makes this robbery stand out though is that it involved a police chase and a shootout which resulted in damage to over 30 different police cars before the criminal was caught.
12. Nigeria’s Largest Bank Heist. You don’t think of Nigeria as a country with so much money in its banks that thefts would be common, do you? However, a robbery is worthwhile to some criminals here. In 2001, $320,000 was stolen from the Lagos Branch of the Diamond Bank. It was one of a series of robberies that all happened around the same time.
13. John Dillinger in the 1930’s. The shocking thing about this criminal mastermind was the sheer number of bank robberies that he managed to pull off. In addition to this, he was known for pulling off his robberies in unique ways – posing as a seller of bank alarm systems and even as a film crew “pretending” to rob the place for a movie!
14. Bowman and Kirkpatrick. A more modern duo who robbed many banks, they did their work in the late 1980’s. They are believed to have robbed nearly thirty banks and gotten about $7 million. This includes $4.5 million taken during an infamous heist in Washington where they entered the bank in trench coats and demanded the cash on hand. They were both eventually caught for other offenses and charged with these crimes.
15. Stanley Mark Rifkin’s Ultimate Heist. Imagine robbing a bank without ever touching any of the money. That’s what this man managed to pull off, stealing over $10 million through wire transfers. And he did it back in 1978! The bank didn’t even know they had been robbed until the FBI told them!
16. South American Tunneling Bank Robbers of 2006. In 2006 there were a series of bank robbers who tunneled into banks, stole money and got away. Two of the biggest thefts were a $68 million theft from a bank in Fortaleza, Brazil and a theft of somewhere between $25 million and $70 million from a Buenos Aires bank.
17. Baker Street Bank Robbery of 1971. Tunneling into banks isn’t a new idea. It was done in 1971 in London by unknown robbers who managed to steal millions of pounds of cash and jewels. The specific amount stolen is unclear since the robbers were never caught.
18. German Army Steals $520 million. During World War II, the German army plowed through various regions and stole the goods out of their banks. It is estimated that they stole over five hundred million dollars worth of gold and artwork. Most of the treasures were ultimately returned to their rightful countries but it took about fifty years to make those reparations.
19. Palestinian Guerrilla Groups Rob British Bank of the Middle East. In 1976 members of the PLO broke into a church located next to the British Bank of the Middle East went through the wall and managed to get away with somewhere between $20 million and $50 million.
20. America’s First Bank Robbery. Americans have been robbing banks since they first formed a country. The first known bank robbery in American history was the theft of $162,821 (a large sum at that time) from the banks of Philadelphia way back in 1798. Believe it or not, even this first robbery was an inside job!
