I had a problem with all the math questions where someone would have 6 apples and share them with 2 friends and the teacher expected that to mean 2 people with 3 apples each instead of 3 people with 2 apples each.
I did that in my first day. "Draw a line from the top line to the bottom line." She actually meant the next line down, not the line at the bottom of the page.
