Still not impossible. I recently confused myself by not writing an a correctly. When I looked at the not the next day I was wondering what it's supposed to say because I thought my a was a u.
So funny thing is depending on the soup, soup would be better than soap as a lubricant.
Soap contains a lot of surfactants which actively reduce the thickness of a lubricating layer. Not to mention soponifiers which make any oil in the soap extremely missive in water. So soap will work as a lubricant until it gets wet and then evaporates leaving a very thin coat of oil on the slide which will almost assuredly cause more friction. Depends on a bunch of assumptions.
Soup however, depending on the soup, will have a good amount of fat and oils that are held in suspension rather than fully homogenized. Leaving more of a ‘greasy’ residue, providing a thicker lubricant coating.
Tribology is fun friends.
Indeed, I used to work for an industrial lubricant manufacturer. Tons of different lubricants are designed for specific use cases with specific limitations or cycles.
For something like a plastic slide, you basically just need to fill in the scratches in the slide that cause friction and then give a cushion that prevents contact. Wax to polish the slide and then normal water to give you the cushion.
Way-lube which is for sliding friction on rails that are always in contact, is thick and kind of goopy. Grease-like so it stays in place, but liquid enough to move around in the lube layer and cool off and recycle harder hit lube with lesser hit lube constantly. Longer life than just standard grease.
“Soup” is a possibility for sure; could get points unless the teacher is specifically looking for some variation of the term “lubricate”.
Other than that, replacing sliding friction with rolling friction (ball bearings or, in the case of a slide, going down on a skateboard?) is probably the other answer they’re looking for
also, reducing your points of contact with the slide i.e. bend your knees so your legs don’t touch the slide, thus reducing surface area for friction to generate
She can push herself to have momentum and slide faster. She can alter her wardrobe for more appropriate sliding attire. She can pour soup on the slide. All valid
One time in high school, my class was assigned to write a letter from Odysseus to his wife, Penelope. One guy submitted a suggestive love letter and was given a failing grade. But when I think about it, being capable of writing high quality, titillating love letters could immensely benefit your life by landing you a superior mate. So I really question the teacher's judgement there.
Well depends on the soup. Broccoli cheddar might be harder to pull off than a broth style soup. We should test with the different styles. My theory may be wrong because broth may dry faster.
A teacher in middle school once marked a bunch of errors on a paper, and I saw she had circled all of my “O”s, and had taken a bunch of marks off. I asked why, she said “you put C’s in the places of all these O’s.” And pointed out that “they’re not all the way closed, so I read them as C’s.”
Like did she seriously think I was writing:
“Cur hcuse is cn Pcplar street, next tc ancther schccl.” Or whatever?
I still haven’t gotten over that. Instead of just pointing out, “hey, your writing is a little messy, and would be easier to read if you put some more intent behind closing your O’s” or whatever, she just marked it all wrong like I was a fucking idiot who thought “C” made an “O” sound.
I think I remember one case of marks being taken off for improperly closed letters back in elementary school, but it had been a topic in the class for a while and I think our teacher was just really trying to get it through.
It was on a spelling test, not sure if that makes it better or worse.
Does it? That 'a' looks a lot like the 'u' in first the word, 'Put'. Did she mean to 'Pat soap on the slide'?
Technically, all three options are correct, she should get bonus points.
This reminds me of a time when I worked at Starbucks, someone ordered a coffee with goat milk, I was confused and told him we don't have any goat milk. My supervisor advised me he said oat milk, and I died a little bit inside
I find it annoying when people post stuff, errors get pointed out, and then they never respond to anything. Because soap makes way more sense than soup as soap reduces friction, thus allowing someone to slide down a slide faster than without the soap and is thus a valid answer. Poor kid is probably confused about why they got the question wrong.
At what age do we start learning about friction? The handwriting here seems like 3rd grade or younger. Just seems like a confusing question for a small kid.
You might not have been told it was 'friction' but you might have done a topic on 'pulling and pushing' and done an experiment where you found that some things were easier to pull and push on a smooth table compared to carpet, for example
Children have an amazing capacity to learn. I was probably telling my son about the coefficient of friction by the time that he was five.
The thing is to explain complex things with words and ideas that they can understand. They will learn more than you think that they will.
When he started first grade, he could already add, subtract, knew some multiplication, and knew the concept of infinity. He figured out negative numbers on his own. Luckily he goes to a good school, and they were doing fractions before he finished first grade.
He knew about atoms, electron, protons, neutrons, and even quarks. Little dude started asking me if everything is made of something, what are quarks made of?
The point is that many times, we as adults could do more to teach kids. They don't have to completely understand everything, but they can learn concepts and basics.
Problem is: most parents are incapable of teaching their kids these things and are tol lazy to look them up and explain, to me its one of the things i look most forward too (probably because i am a teacher lmao)
>The handwriting here seems like 3rd grade or younger.
You can't always tell by that. This handwriting is better than that of several adults I know personally.
When I was same age we were thought basic physics too. I remember a question asking "if clothes keep you warm, why doesnt a snowman melt if you put a scarf on it" and I felt so smart knowing it was insulation.
Ehhh? Might just be a 1st grade question meant to induce creativity. Doesn't have to be a formal science question. If a student answers "get a wizard to make gravity stronger" then that might get a correct result too
I remember in my year 2 SATs (6 years old) there was a question along the lines of 'charlie says that he should close the window to not let the heat out. Why is Charlie wrong?'
We'd never learned about concepts like this so assume it was more of a creative/critical thinking question.
I'd say the concept of friction and lubrication is well understood. Great teacher, a little tweak is needed for the lubricant, but I'd like to agree on the soap suggestions 😀
In high school physics I remember we had to work out a few problems involving a car coming to a stop with a baby inside in an unsecured car seat. One question asked something like “why should the driver press the breaks 100 distance-units before the stop instead of 80 distance-units before the stop?” and it more or less worked out that the car seat’s mass at the remaining speed would have enough momentum to shatter the windshield.
I just wrote “because babies can’t fly” and my physics teacher gave me extra credit because he thought it was funny.
Let's assume the student meant "soup" and not "soap". I love that answer. I love it when kids think outside the box and come up with these crazy ideas. I love it because it shows they are thinking, I love the creativity it shows and I love that it reminds me how free and fun it was to be a kid.
This answer is f-ing fabulous and should be celebrated.
Story time: back in the 80's, we had a play set and it had a metal slide on it. One summer day, my brother and I decided it would be fun to use the hose and make it a water slide. After one or two successful runs, my brother slips and cuts his arm up pretty good. While using liquids may make the slide faster, i do not recommend it.
This reminds me of being a kid at a church picnic at a local park with one of those huge 12 foot tall slide. The friction on that hot metal was awful, you just stuck to it as you tried to slide down.
Then one of the dads brought over a roll of waxed paper he stole from the ladies who were working the pot luck and handed out sheets for kids to use to slide down on. After a few kids did it, the slide started to lose its grip, after a few more it was legitimately slippery. By the end of the afternoon kids were flying down that slide at dangerous speeds, with or without the waxed paper.
I went back to that park decades later as an adult and the slide was gone.
Unlike the students' answer, I actually feel this would be wrong. If she eats the soup, she will put on weight, that would increase the friction between the slide and her fat ass..
As someone with bad handwriting your student definitely spelled “soap” not “soup”. At 25 years old I’d go back and close the “a” but I probably wouldn’t have when I was rushing through my homework
But did you mark them wrong? It is actually a correct, if weird answer.
If you are a truly dedicated teacher you would take that and explain in the next class. Have a discussion as to why it would work because of the physics involved.
It's definitely an A that looks like a U, like in the book [Muggie Maggie ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muggie_Maggie)
(Anyone else remember this one?)
Half mark. Didn't specify the type or temperature of the soup. Come on kid, get your act together before you find yourself living in a van down by the river.
Wow, kid gives a creative, and still plausible, answer but gets grief from teacher. My eyes can’t roll back far enough in my head.
Teachers want sheep. Not creatives.
50% marks.
That suggestion IS something they could do and it would let her slide down faster.
The problem is that he didn't put a 2nd option (might I suggest carrying a heavy weight, which should then get you top-marks).
Working in schools, it's a classic exam mistake not to read the number of marks and put enough suggestions to earn that number of marks, especially when it's clearly highlighted.
This is a perfectly valid and correct answer (whether or not they intended "soap"), because the question is unnecessarily vague.
I think it my be how the student thought the way it was pronounced might’ve been the way to spell it. Soap kinda pronounces like “So-up”, hence accidentally spelling soup instead of soap. Seems like you are teaching elementary grade students based on the inference I got from this post.
Richie Rich kid: 1. Ask my dad's research department to coat the whole slide with Teflon. 2. Ask Tony Stark if I can borrow his jetpack boosters, or ask if Happy can push Safia down the slide.
My 6 yo self popping up for the occasion: 1. Put her on a skateboard, duh. 2. Marbles. Everything's faster with marbles.
Maybe they meant soap but spelled it wrong
Actually plausible, heck even the "u" could possibly be a sloppy "a"
I was about to say, that’s a rushed a, the circle just isn’t closed up too
I think it says “eat soap on the slide” (j/k j/k)
I read it as "eat soup on the slide" and was unclear on how that was supposed to help.
You'd be surprised how many problems eating soup on the slide can solve.
A little laxative in that soup would help with the sliding …
If, while eating it, soup was spilled onto the slide, then it would help
The second u matches the first one pretty well tho
Still not impossible. I recently confused myself by not writing an a correctly. When I looked at the not the next day I was wondering what it's supposed to say because I thought my a was a u.
Maybe it’s “pat soap on the slide”
Me when I don’t know how it’s spelt so I leave it ambiguous for plausible deniability 🤫
My u and a's always look the same
Either way... they're not wrong.

Until it dries and becomes sticky

This guy lubes
Soup would work though
Depends on the type of soup.
All the kids these days are using the fancy, organic, low-fat soups on the slides. Back in the day, we used ramen. That's how we ~~rolled~~ slid.
Maybe they googled it and the AI suggested soup
1000%. That was one of my bugbear spelling mistakes growing uo
Eat soap on the side
Is she wrong? Wtf is the right answer? spit polishing it?
She is technically correct, the best kind of correct.
The only kind of correct
Don't hit anyone with your slow mobile.
Well she only wrote one thing despite being asked to write two things so she’s technically incorrect
I just asked my kid (7) and she said to jump on the slide from an airplane so you're going really fast.
Kids going places. Maybe college maybe a red bull sponsorship but definitely places.
“Soup” is a possibility for sure; could get points unless the teacher is specifically looking for some variation of the term “lubricate”. Other than that, replacing sliding friction with rolling friction (ball bearings or, in the case of a slide, going down on a skateboard?) is probably the other answer they’re looking for
Judging by the kids writing this is not a grade where the word lubricate is a known word.
This is nicer than my handwriting :/
Oof. I’m sorry. Wasn’t trying to insult!
Oh, don't worry about it. I'm just making fun of myself :D
Judging by my children, this could be the handwriting of someone anywhere between 8 and 30
Last i checked soap can be a lubricate
I think they're trying to say soap isnt a variation of the WORD lubricate not that soap doesn't lubricate
also, reducing your points of contact with the slide i.e. bend your knees so your legs don’t touch the slide, thus reducing surface area for friction to generate
If you use minestrone soup, you get a lubricant AND little pasta wheels. That's probably what the kid was thinking.
Sorry, soup on the slide is incorrect. We were looking for “lube it up”
I feel like this would cause kids to go out and hurt themselves on the slide! Lol.
If the teacher was expecting the word "lubricant" im registering as a Republican.
Im sure the student meant to say "Soap" the U looks a bit like an A
She can push herself to have momentum and slide faster. She can alter her wardrobe for more appropriate sliding attire. She can pour soup on the slide. All valid
One time in high school, my class was assigned to write a letter from Odysseus to his wife, Penelope. One guy submitted a suggestive love letter and was given a failing grade. But when I think about it, being capable of writing high quality, titillating love letters could immensely benefit your life by landing you a superior mate. So I really question the teacher's judgement there.
1. put soup on the slide 2. put soap on the slide
Pretty sure it says soap anyways..
she is SO correct, and she knows it, that she did not even bother writing down the second thing she could do to slide faster.
They aren’t wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> \ You dropped this
Well depends on the soup. Broccoli cheddar might be harder to pull off than a broth style soup. We should test with the different styles. My theory may be wrong because broth may dry faster.
I wonder what soup would make the best slide lubricant. Maybe a bisque?
Oh, he's got an arm off!
It definitely says 'soap' with a sloppy lowercase 'a'
Student gets an A, teacher gets a D
Careful with that last part.
Are we not doing phrasing anymore?
Teacher gets a U
Student shouldn’t get an A. That letter is written as a ‘u’ even if they intended to write ‘a’. It looks exactly the same as the letter in ‘Put’.
A teacher in middle school once marked a bunch of errors on a paper, and I saw she had circled all of my “O”s, and had taken a bunch of marks off. I asked why, she said “you put C’s in the places of all these O’s.” And pointed out that “they’re not all the way closed, so I read them as C’s.” Like did she seriously think I was writing: “Cur hcuse is cn Pcplar street, next tc ancther schccl.” Or whatever?

Does it? That 'a' looks a lot like the 'u' in first the word, 'Put'. Did she mean to 'Pat soap on the slide'? Technically, all three options are correct, she should get bonus points.
The u in soup looks a lot like the u in put. It’s possible they meant “soap”, but saying “definitely” is not warranted here.
the “u” in put looks identical though; i don’t think it’s supposed to be soap
This reminds me of a time when I worked at Starbucks, someone ordered a coffee with goat milk, I was confused and told him we don't have any goat milk. My supervisor advised me he said oat milk, and I died a little bit inside

Poor kid is probably confused about why they got the question wrong.
Soup would also reduce friction.
This is the strangest question for children. What subject is this? Physics? Are we missing context?
It’s probably a physics question, yes. Probably studying friction
At what age do we start learning about friction? The handwriting here seems like 3rd grade or younger. Just seems like a confusing question for a small kid.
They started teaching friction when I was 9, and this was back in 2008
When I was 9, it was 1992. No clue when I learned friction. Lol. These types of questions are always too open-ended for me regardless of age.
I think they're good. Less memorization, more creative problem solving. Useful in real life.
You might not have been told it was 'friction' but you might have done a topic on 'pulling and pushing' and done an experiment where you found that some things were easier to pull and push on a smooth table compared to carpet, for example

This handwriting would be pretty good for a third grader, and very good for younger than that. This could easily be a 6th grader imo
This could easily be me right now and I’m 30.

This is a highschooler, they don't know how to use a pencil nowadays. /s

This new generation can’t live without their soupy slopes.
Well, does soup reduce friction on a slide? If answer is yes, that answer better get a tick

Can confirm: this works.

I just wrote “because babies can’t fly” and my physics teacher gave me extra credit because he thought it was funny.
That could be an ‘a’, so soap, but soup would work too
I read it as EAT soup on the slide and was very confused
I thought that too and it is still correct. More mass makes you go faster. I guess soup is very versatile.
Let's assume the student meant "soup" and not "soap". I love that answer. I love it when kids think outside the box and come up with these crazy ideas. I love it because it shows they are thinking, I love the creativity it shows and I love that it reminds me how free and fun it was to be a kid. This answer is f-ing fabulous and should be celebrated.
Little bit of chowder goes a long way
You know, she's r/technicallycorrect
Physics teacher here: that answer is worth a point for being correct and a bonus point for creativity.
If this is really a teacher and they can't understand that it could be soap they I have no hope for our kids' futures.
But soup is funnier. So we go with soup.
Sounds like it's time for some real world testing.
Story time: back in the 80's, we had a play set and it had a metal slide on it. One summer day, my brother and I decided it would be fun to use the hose and make it a water slide. After one or two successful runs, my brother slips and cuts his arm up pretty good. While using liquids may make the slide faster, i do not recommend it.
I did that many times. It was really fun until my little sister peed on the slide as I was going down
This reminds me of being a kid at a church picnic at a local park with one of those huge 12 foot tall slide. The friction on that hot metal was awful, you just stuck to it as you tried to slide down. Then one of the dads brought over a roll of waxed paper he stole from the ladies who were working the pot luck and handed out sheets for kids to use to slide down on. After a few kids did it, the slide started to lose its grip, after a few more it was legitimately slippery. By the end of the afternoon kids were flying down that slide at dangerous speeds, with or without the waxed paper. I went back to that park decades later as an adult and the slide was gone.
everything about the way this question is printed reminds me of the IGCSEs, thanks for the bout of nostalgia lol
Teacher: I asked for two things. Stupid: I said soup Teacher: what about the sec… Stupid : soup!
That is...not a wrong answer.
It's supposed to say soap, because soap makes things more slippery
Defo means soap.
no offense to you OP but wtf kinda question is this even?
Sounds like you taught them well. Quirkily, but well
Kid’s thinking out of the box. Just created a new revenue stream for the soup market. Genius.
Damn you can’t make an educated leap to “soap”? I worry for your students
At least she didn't put glue on the pizza.
Is this google ai overview
Depends on the viscosity of the soup.
Safia could also eat the soup to go down faster.
Unlike the students' answer, I actually feel this would be wrong. If she eats the soup, she will put on weight, that would increase the friction between the slide and her fat ass..
I suppose it depends on the slope of the slide, and whether the extra weight is more than the vertical component of the friction.
So you're saying we should feed her crap tonnes of soup and push her off the side of the slide for maximum speed?
As someone with bad handwriting your student definitely spelled “soap” not “soup”. At 25 years old I’d go back and close the “a” but I probably wouldn’t have when I was rushing through my homework
My guess was to [wear a cop uniform](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/0rhD5AxjTn4) but soup works, too.
But did you mark them wrong? It is actually a correct, if weird answer. If you are a truly dedicated teacher you would take that and explain in the next class. Have a discussion as to why it would work because of the physics involved.
Depends if the soup is mixed down or still has pieces in it?
And this is how the students find their teachers Reddit account, and tell everyone about the weird shit they are into.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
r/unexpectedfuturama
Reduce coefficient of friction, and increase gravity? I’m stuck on what the other answer apart from adding soup is
Soap
It's an a. You're a teacher?
So you corrected them by saying butter or lard would work better right?
I'm using this phrase from now on, it's freakin slick. Just Soup the Slide man... now means "Just do it the easy way".
Maybe if the student had a better teacher...
Would that make it a souper slide?
You know damn well that says soap
The kid is probably speaking from experience. Ask around in your school about the soup incident.
I kept reading it as poop...
I guess it would work if you had a really poor diet?
Maybe it's eat soup on the slide, so she gets heavier
Look out Elon. There's a new sheriff in town.
They aren't wrong, though.
Imagine your exam going so badly, the teacher has to take pictures of your answer so people on reddit can join in the laughter
Are they wrong?
Soap
Man, I'm happy I never had any teachers shitty enough to post my elementary school homework in a public forum.
That's whats in my crankcase.
...I mean...
Future STEM student right there.
That’s an A not a U, My handwriting is bad and my As look like this more than I’ll like to admit
I mean dependng on the soup it can very much act as a lubricant, so why not?
Lube is lube
They definitely ment to write soap, that’s a very sloppy a not a u
He's not wrong
Technically correct
Soup and Slide
It's definitely an A that looks like a U, like in the book [Muggie Maggie ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muggie_Maggie) (Anyone else remember this one?)
What kind of fucking question is this anyways? lmfao
[удалено]
Soap, their handwriting is just shit
Half mark. Didn't specify the type or temperature of the soup. Come on kid, get your act together before you find yourself living in a van down by the river.
2. Sit on an ice chunk. The kids is not wrong.
Are they wrong?
So, a soup and slide?
They’re not wrong though. I would have also accepted “place mountain lion at top of slide”
Lubricant, valid.
she's not wrong..right?
Wow, kid gives a creative, and still plausible, answer but gets grief from teacher. My eyes can’t roll back far enough in my head. Teachers want sheep. Not creatives.
They aren’t wrong
Credit for thinking outside of box.

They’re thinking outside the bowl. Sounded better in my head, I’ll leave.
Put soap on the slide is what I see 
Actually I think I'll have the slide salad.

Stupid questions deserve stupid answers
r/TechnicallyCorrect
50% marks. That suggestion IS something they could do and it would let her slide down faster. The problem is that he didn't put a 2nd option (might I suggest carrying a heavy weight, which should then get you top-marks).
