Ages ago I had an exam of science at elementary school.
One of the questions was “You are drifted to the desert island. You get thirsty but you cannot drink water from the sea. How do you drink water?”
It was basically to write the process of distillation like heating up the seawater, cooling down steam, and making it drinkable water.
But below the question,
“Big Hint! You have the below things in your bad.
A test tube, a beaker, an alcohol lamp, <skipped>, the ice water to cool down.”

I wrote “drink the ice water”
And got a mark for it with the comment saying “Sorry”.
