Basically, what i was dreaming of, was imagine an vehicle, say a cart that was made OUT of light. (Yes, my day-dreams suck). Now, while i was traveling in this light-cart, a rabbit was stationary and was watching the bus (as it was driving past a petshop). Eager to make sure i was good looking for the rabbit to see, i quickly withdrew a hand held mirror and observed my reflection, stroking my hair back.

Now, i have a question about this absurd day dream. I want you to tell me what is seen in the mirror. I won't tell you in who's perspective its seen, i want you to guess that part.


(Apparently this IS in the right forum)

Who writes these exams.. seriously.

lol next Einstein here.

You would see your reglection in the mirror as the speed of light is the same in all frames of reference..

Sigh... Kaz you missed the point!

It was satire on a really bad CSSA question. That asks an nigh-ambiguous question.

Yeah, our Teacher wasn't too happy with it either.

That's Physics, though.

CSSA Physics is absolutely ridiculous. I was attempting some of their past papers and gave up because of the ambiguity in their questions. They're transforming Physics into some sort of guessing English game. Ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Kinda - but there was a definite answer. It was just.. yeah, ambiguous.

I understood the correct answer, at least. Doesn't make it any sort of a decent question, though.
