When I was still teaching sociology, I would include multiple choice on my exams, and whenever I couldn't think of a fifth option for a question, I'd put in a throw-away answer like "Gary Coleman is a genius," or "Clowns aren't funny. They are scary." And about the easiest M.C. question I would put on a final exam for an Intro course was "Which of the following correctly defines sociology?" And yes, there would always be one person to get that question wrong.
These are actual questions from the final (and only) exam in Georgia assistant basketball coach Jim Harrick Jr.'s Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball class in 2001. All students were given an A, and Harrick Jr. was later fired after the NCAA found violations of academic fraud and improper benefits. (from ESPN.com)
