I can edit a llama's rear to produce square pebbles so it'll say 'vicuña'.

(Well, those who came up with that question showed bad taste, not worth repeating imo.)

How about if the Taliban wouldn't have destroyed one of the cultural heritage sites of the world in the first place? That was in "bad taste" and I hope nobody is ever let to forget it, because otherwise we have things like that repeating. I intend to fully offend anyone promoting the destruction of cultural monuments.

I'm sorry but you being sad about taliban destroyed budda statue have nothing to do with me. If my name is Mohamed or I'm Muslim that don't mean that I'm from taliban or I'm a Terrorist.
99% of the Muslims also hate what they have done and they r just a normal people like Europe countries "Just in a poor way".I suggest you read some real books about Muslim cultural and not only watch the crap news on the TV.and ya who came up with that question showed very very bad taste to the math. :roll:

The point is, an exam question like that implicitly carries a political message which is completely out of place in the context of an entrance examination for an engineering-related study programme. It is equally out of place in the discussion of a technical question relating to how mathematically demanding the exam might be.

How about the fact that beggars coming for a free handout cannot be choosers?
