Sally tried a similar strategy once (future strip), but falsed when she should have trued, and trued when she should have falsed. [Maybe it was PP in point of fact]
P Patty definitely brought the class average down, just like the slacker students in college that you loved to have in your section to help increase the good old curve for everyone’s grades.
I would suggest Patty try studying instead of… this… but she’s probably got some learning disability for which the treatment (if that’s the right word) in the 70s was ineffective. At least it’s only grade school.
I used to give True/False correction tests that minimized guessing. If a statement was false, the student had to say why and rewrite the statement so it would be true. … i got some very creative answers occasionally.

What would be an example question where one can respond “charmingly true”? Just wondering!

Unfortunately, these are objective questions, so your subjective emphases will not bring you extra marks, Patty!

Does “understandably false” mean she understands the question, or understands why people get it wrong?

If it were Marcie sitting in front of her, she’d say, “You’re weird, sir.”

Inherently so, Franklin.

If that’s a vocabulary test, she should do just fine!

Guessing all the way.

How charmingly is it?

She does make you think, doesn’t she, Franklin?

Franklin Armstrong, the one person who is actually perplexed by Peppermint Patty’s true or false strategy.

Too bad for her that it is an Essay Test.

P.P. would give true/false responses to multiple choice questions.

If you are going to guess, then guess with gusto.

This reminds me of the scene in “Harold and Maude” where Harold’s mom is filling out a dating questionnaire for him:

She’s charmingly confused. And guessing!

That’s quite a vocabulary for someone who once got a Z-minus on a test.

I wouldn’t worry about it, Franklin. Even with a 50/50 chance you’re bound to do five times as well as Peppermint Patty.

She may get a D- minus in everything else, but Peppermint Patty is definitely going for an A in adverbs!
Otis Rufus Driftwood over 1 year ago
At least she’s not flipping a coin like Calvin once did.

Indubitably!

That’s a whole lot of adjectives, Patty.
