MAT 21b: Final Exam Solutions
I’ve provided here solutions to the fun part of the exam (the Smush Bonus Question). If you would like solutions to
any particular real problem from the exam, please contact me.
1. (2 bonus points) As a hopefully relaxing break in the middle, try out these SMUSH puzzles. Of course, you’ll
get bonus points whether you get any or not, as long as you try to get at least one and write something down.
So here’s how this works. I give you a bunch of things, and you have to smush them together. For example:
for social website + high school assignment, the answer is facebook report, i.e. facebook + book report
or for classic american desert + march 14th + dia de los muertos (Mexian Holiday), the answer is apple pie
day of the dead, i.e. apple pie + pi day + day of the dead
or for Stanley Kubrik film + breakfast drink + Womens clothing and accessory company, the answer is a clockwork orange juicy couture, i.e. A Clockwork Orange + orange juice + Juicy Couture
(a) martial art + mustache style
kung fu manchu
(b) chocolate used for baking + high school love interest + medical emergency
semi-sweet heart attack
(c) ’N Sync member + large body of water in the Andes (with a dirty sounding name) + harsh discordant
mixture of sounds
Justin Timberlake Titicacaphony
(d) scuba diving site + building destroyer + goodness gracious great
Shipwrecking balls of fire
(e) Capital of Haiti + British royalty killed in car accident + lead singer of The Supremes
Port au Princess Diana Ross
(f) Drug addled British songstress + Irish-American hip hop group + what you might call this test if you’re
not doing well on it

(g) A Tribe Called Quest member + 1990’s Vice Presidential wife + waterproof fabric
