Probably, the best thread on LI!
I've got a whole book of these about strange answers given by French baccalauréat candidates...
"A line with eight syllables is hectosyllabic."
"...using a receptacle not of 500ml, but half a litre."
"If the child doesn't have a normal school career, gaps appear in his or her knowledge which accumulate and result in exam failure. From there, only two job opportunities are open - tramp or soldier."
"An example of [Voltaire's] black humour - the description of the Negro from Surinam."
"If Rembrandt had painted exactly the same canvasses as Picasso, the latter would have lost all his originality."
"The idea of abortion haunts the young woman, but it's the only possibility if she wants the child to be happy."
"For men, feminine beauty could best be described as 50kg of meat of which 10% is breast."
"Then, the detective asked the criminal, 'where were you last night? What were you spanking?'" (this is probably a spelling mistake on the part of the candidate; he meant to write ,"que faisiez-vous?" but actually put "que fessiez-vous?")
"The level of abstinence in elections has tended to increase in recent years."
"In Greek mythology, Thetis's son was named Achilles heel."
"The Greeks, who invented the Olympic games, have been modernised and thoroughly renovated."
"During the Third Reich in Germany, Jews were exported by the thousand."
