Okay, so in my Philosophy class, there's only four people including me and our teachers are more of our friends than teachers. When we got onto homework being set, our teacher said "I recommend spending at least 3 hours on this essay. This isn't something you can do in one night." Then I said to her, in a joking way, "Does that mean we get 2 days to write this in the actual exam?" Then all five of us laughed. [spoiler]I know the answer already. It was meant to be a joke as the whole class was aware we would know the material inside out by the time the exam is around the corner whereas we barely knew it at that point.[/spoiler]
