That's awesome. How many marks did you give?

Was it a translation difficulty?

The funniest thing I've seen while marking 1st year physics assignments: students trying, and failing, to calculate, find, or otherwise ascertain the period of rotation of the second hand on a clock. A few of them wrote "What is the period of rotation of the second hand??" so I wrote back "Try observing a clock for approximately one minute to find out."
