Or how, for that matter, do you write short notes on 'fallacies and pitfalls'?

What do you do when you are a student seeing these questions in a university examination in a course on Computer Organization and Design?

I'm sure you are wondering which university produced these gems.

Calicut University.

Many sites compile howlers by students. If there is one for howlers from clueless faculty, these questions would fit right in.
