While the debate on whether or not an examination is a true test of knowledge, a lady has stunned social media with a question paper that has an unusual instruction.
Sharing an image of the question paper for civil engineering students of a university, the lady identified on Twitter with the handle @Ard_paki captioned it:
"This exam no be easy crying is allowed. #engineers #exam 9th of April."
The examination paper had Monday, March 29, as the date for the engineering exam. The paper reportedly belonging to a higher institution in Uganda identified as Kyambogo University has stirred a nest of reactions and debate.

Briefly.co.za previously reported that a deadly plane crash saw two people lose their lives as they attempted to entertain the crowd during a gender reveal stunt.
The party, which was held on a boat, was to see a plane pass above them and reveal the gender of the yet-to-be born child but the big moment never came.
According to TMZ, the party took place on the coast of Cancun, Mexico, where the parents-to-be had hired a plane to display a banner announcing they were having a girl. Unforeseen circumstances however made sure that things didn't go to plan.
