How do you answer the question of vampire or zombie?

Oxford's most difficult questions are fresh. Let's get to know. Do you think you can answer them?

According to British media, Oxford University, one of the world's oldest and most advanced institutions of higher learning, this year put out a question like this: "would you like to be a vampire or a zombie?" this question has caused many ordinary Britons to fall their glasses. The times called it the 'most frightening test in the world'. The guardian said it was the 'most difficult' test.

According to BBC website on October 10, vampires and zombies are two kinds of strange creatures from the Western folklore. In recent years, they often become the protagonists in novels, movies and video games. They are increasingly known by people all over the world in popular culture. The problem of the school of the spirits of niujin University is also the performance of the ancient traditional university advancing with the times.

So is it better to be a vampire or a zombie? How to choose between them? Some people in the UK have commented:

Martin middot behram, a senior reporter for Cultural Affairs at the guardian, joked about the benefits of vampires: 'have you ever seen an ugly vampire? It's not clear whether it's only fashion people who become vampires or whether being a vampire makes you fashionable, but all in all, vampires look cool. 'he also said that being a vampire certainly has its disadvantages. One of them is that' immortality sounds fun, but it's not fun until you want to see all your loved ones grow old and die in front of you. Of course, unless you let them all become vampires, they can accompany you forever and forever, which makes you have a lot of pressure in choosing who to establish such a permanent relationship with. '

As for zombies, beiram wrote that vampires are all solitary, but zombies are in groups, so 'this is a more gregarious choice'. In addition, zombies eat the brain marrow, which is' completely delicious, healthy and full of DHA, an important Omega 3 fatty acid. 'of course, when zombies are bad, besides never being sexy, they always have a rotten meat smell,' which is usually considered disgusting. '

Would you like to be a zombie or a vampire? It is reported that if Oxford University is willing to publish the candidates' answers one day, it will cause hot debate again.

The report points out that this year, there is more than one question for the University of Oxford's Wanling college. However, it is not easy to answer other questions well--

'does Google know us better than ourselves?'

'is Shakespeare out of reach, and no one can play it?'

'should sugar be taxed?'

In addition, there are some more traditional questions, such as' did music suddenly stop at Brahms' and 'ethical questions every year' are all lives valuable? '

According to the report, the school itself is very unique among the colleges of Oxford University. Unlike other colleges, which were set up in the 1430s by Henry Middleton, Archbishop of Canterbury, it does not recruit undergraduates. Those who pass the examination automatically become the academicians of the school. The examination is very unusual and famous, and is called the most difficult examination.

But in fact, even if you want to successfully enter Oxford and Cambridge universities, good grades are not enough, the report said. These two universities have an interview pass. They often ask some 'strange' questions without correct answers to test students' knowledge and ideological sensitivity. Many students with excellent scores often fail to pass this pass.
