英考卷自問自答 考生樂開花
An exam board delighted GCSE Students after it answered its own question in a GCSE chemistry paper.
最近參加英國普通中學教育考試（GCSE）的學生都樂了，因爲化學考卷直接給出了一道題的答案。
The AQA exam question asked students to complete the blank in the following question: limestone is mostly calcium __ A subsequent question read: "limestone is mostly calcium carbonate", which essentially gave the answer away.
這套由AQA機構出的試卷中，一道填空題問：石灰岩的主要成分是___ ，接下來的一道題題幹爲：“石灰岩的主要成分是碳酸鈣”，正好是前面問題的答案。
An AQA spokesman said: "As part of our ongoing quality control checks we noticed that an answer to a one-mark question was given in a longer question later on in the paper. This shouldn't have happened, and we're sorry it did. We'll make sure it doesn't affect students' grades, but schools can get in touch if they have concerns."
AQA官方發言人稱：“我們最近正在進行的試題質檢發現，有一道一分的填空題，答案在後面的題幹中出現了。發生這種錯誤很不應該，我們深感抱歉。我們會保證此題不影響學生的最終成績，若學校仍有疑慮可與我們聯繫。”
Students on Twitter reacted with joy.
學生們開心地在推特上分享了這件事。

The gaffe follows frustration over an Edexcel question in a GCSE maths exam about Hannah's sweets, which became an internet phenomenon last week.
上週，Edexcel機構出的GCSE數學卷曾經在網絡上引發熱議，卷子上一道關於漢娜的糖果的算術題令學生頭痛不已。
Students taking Edexcel's GCSE Maths paper took to Twitter to vent their frustration over a problem involving how many sweets a girl called Hannah has.
參加這次數學考試的學生紛紛在推特上抱怨這道問漢娜有多少顆糖果的題。
The focus of their ire was a girl named Hannah has 6 orange sweets and some yellow sweets. Overall, she has n sweets. The probability of her taking 2 orange sweets is 1/3. Prove that: n²-n-90=0.
這道倍受吐槽的題幹是這麼寫的：漢娜有6顆橙色糖果，和若干黃色糖果。設她共有n顆糖果，而她拿出2顆橙色糖果的機率是3分之1，求證 n²-n-90=0。
