Ever since I started physics I've noticed the people who make up these questions are

(a) extremly bored
(b) want to use physics to kill people

Its never the first few questions, but rather when you get to questions 10 15 and 20 they start to get funky.

I'll give you some examples

Find the gravitational force that attracts a 65 kg boy to a 50 kg girl when they are 5 cm apart. (assume point masses)

or

A 10kg baby is exposed to 20 joules of radiation, is the baby dead or not, and if not what symptoms will she have?


I was wondering if anyone else apart from me that noticed this

Difficulty is calibrated against the calibre of the candidates

For our half yearly, our teacher is putting in a projectile motion question based on, if a velociraptor spits acid(i know...) at a certain angle and at a certain speed... how far you have to run to get away from it safely >_>;;; it was based on a comic from Xkcd.
