Strange Puzzle - Strange Brainteaser

This query is : Resolved 

30 June 2010
Once a professor was teaching mathematics in a college. He declared that, all the students who will score equal to more than the class average in his subject in the upcoming semester examination will be marked as PASS. Those who will score lesser than average will be marked as FAIL.

Actually the teacher was trying to infuse competition in the class by introducing relative grading system. But this professor was outsmarted by a very intelligent student, Mohit, who suggested to the class a solution to handle this crisis situation. The class unanimously agreed.

This resulted in a very strange thing which never happened in the history of the college.

Can you guess what happened?

What did Mohit suggested and why?


30 June 2010 If none write any thing, each student would score zero. The average is zero. Everebody would be declared PASS. PROBABLY.

30 June 2010 I thought of the same answer as above.

Do not reply to any answer correctly and everyone gets zero marks and the average is zero and everyone passes.

30 June 2010 yes the answar is right.

01 July 2010 Thank you. Nice question.
