AN EXCEPTIONALLY cruel university professor has won the internet with a hilarious prank quiz designed to torment two unsuspecting members of his class.

A photo posted to Reddit showed a test that had been handed out to a class of students, but the quiz wasn’t what you’d expect to come across in a typical lecture, The Sun reports.

For one, the jokey exam only has one question: “Sit quietly at your desk for a few minutes, get up say that was easy and turn in your quiz.

“Do not say anything to Jerry and Robby.”

The professor’s unlucky victims must have been faced with a real exam, with one user joking: “I’d love to see the test he gave Jerry and Robby.”

Other viewers speculated about how the prank could have gone down.

“I like to think they constantly skip class and only showed up that day because the syllabus said there would be a quiz,” one Redditor wrote.

And the joke struck close to home for another Redditor, who had a similar story of their own.

“I had something similar happen to me in high school,” they wrote.

“Exams were handed out and at the top of the test the instructions were something similar to this: Do not answer any of the questions, just write your name on the test and hand it in.

“Of course I didn’t read that and I proceeded solve all the math problems as I watch everyone start handing their test in within seconds. I never did figure it out until about five minutes later everyone’s laughing at me and someone tells me to read the top.

“I think I failed that test.”

Another comical Reddit post recently won online applause, after a group of colleagues baked a hilarious cake for their departing co-worker.

Her co-workers gave her an epic send-off by making her a cake with the words “F**k this place” emblazoned across it.
