Apparently, my teacher likes to keep our class entertained. We get some normal problems like a ball gets thrown in the air... but this one I have yet to see. This was a powerpoint slide displayed during class that he shares online.

"A dead body slides down a makeshift ramp outside an abandoned warehouse. The initial speed of the body is 0.5 m/s after having been kicked callously down the ramp. At what angle is the body sliding if it travels 16 m down the ramp during the first 2 s after being kicked? We will assume that sufficient blood covers the body so that there is no friction between the body and the ramp."

Thats awesome. My teacher used to come up with funnily inappropriate and sexual anagrams for equations. Well, that gave us the best chance to remember it and it worked.
