Bad multiple choice sets reminded me of a history class my friend took in summer school. All the questions were multiple choice, and the teacher was extremely lazy and decided that the answer bank for every question would just be randomly drawn from the population of all answers. The end result is that most the questions end up like :

What year was the Declaration of Independence signed?

a) Martian Luther King Jr. b) The Spanish-American War c) 1776 d) The New Deal

Needless to say everyone aced the test.
