Extra: breaking the ice

In many of these classes the students were very afraid of exams (not to say of Mathematics itself). To mitigate that, I used to put some funny questions in the exams in order to calm them down a little.

In order to not risk my job, I would strike out the "fake question", initially not imagining that some people would indeed gift me with some funny drawings, as you can see on the right. I like each in different ways.

Many thanks to all my students for all their kindness.
