For five years, humorist RICHARD BENSON has been collecting hilarious exam answers from school classrooms. Here we present the latest collection from his new book, F in School - and the most extraordinary thing is, they are all genuine...
One of the genuine answers in the new book F in School: Blunders, Backchat and Bad Excuses / An hilarious collection of the worst exam answers, by Richard Benson, who has collected them for several years
Why not sit down? This pupil had a surprisingly pragmatic view of the history of the Tudor royal family
On the other hand, this pupil rather underestimated how severe capital punishment can be
Many of the pupils were fooled by words which could have two meanings - in this case, catching a train
Adorable: Many of the answers show a touching innocence which wouldn't ever cross an adult reader's mind
Wobbly answer: This pupil clearly had lunch on the brain when they were filling in the answers to their exam
Some of the answers make vague sense, right, while others are a surreal window on the imagination, left
Any teacher would have been flummoxed by this answer - because technically, it is completely right
A bit wet: One can't help but hope this pupil never took his or her Ordnance Survey map out in the rain
Either this student had been watching too much late-night TV, or the teachers needed to have a family talk
Wrong Anthony! The innocence of many of the answers is charming. This pupil corrects a teacher
Alternative ending: November 5 would have been more exciting if Guy Fawkes had, indeed, been forgetful
Straight from the Flintstones: It would probably be wise not to let this child drive a car when they grow up
Prism: Maths lessons can feel like prison sometimes, so this pupil's answer is fairly understandable
Acutely amusing: Infuriatingly for the teacher, this pupil appears to have actually known the answer - almost
Red or white? No one can fault the logic of this pupil when asked a detailed question about science
So what if this pupil didn't know about Ancient Greece - they can join the headline-writers of the future
This pupil not only misunderstood the task, but also appears to live under the world's largest apple tree
This anatomy question would stump adults, so it's no surprise the pupil took matters into their own hands
Ham-fisted answer: Another pupil decided to take things a little too literally - or had dinner on the brain
