Trick question

THE EAR - The Freeman
June 15, 2014 | 12:00am

TRICK. During the students Independence Day symposium in a university in Metro Manila, this question was asked: “When was the June 12th Freedom Day proclaimed?” It was a trick question that many students gave the wrong answer. Many gave the date of Jose Rizal’s birthday, others answered July 4.

 AWAKE. The trick question was asked, according to an Ear informer, only to keep the students awake. “One teacher tried to join the students in answering the question,” said our informer, “and added to the wrong answers.”
