Exam:fever :: Laughter:medicine?

The Data Communications final exam paper of the 5th Semester is one our batch will remember for long. Completely numerical; no amount of theory mugging would have helped in answering this one. VTU finally decided to pass most of those who'd attempted something. I'd tried all 8 questions, and managed to get a 75. A selection of images from this one below:

Recollection of this paper even two years after the incident will not fail to arouse at least a smile in most of those who attempted it.

    Srikanth: they're also not reserving their rights from 1998 to present
    Srikanth: all that is public domain
    Abhijit: they really don't care too much about that I suppose..
    Abhijit: they have no IP at all..
    Abhijit: no need for rights..
    Srikanth: Exam papers...
    Srikanth: dude those are works of art... remember the DC paper?
    Srikanth: "Join the following" and "no marks unless all are joined" etc
    Abhijit: That was tooo good..
    Abhijit: I need to get that thing scanned..
    Srikanth: I threw it out..
    Srikanth: i gave it to my cousin, told him that his DC paper would be the simplest ever. I turned out to be right.

    I'd have put the S. E. paper too, but I don't remember it having any clearly laughable sections, or did it ?
