This information came over the internet some years ago.  It purports to be the answers given by students in science exams around the world.  It came with the comment that "it is truly astonishing what weird science our young scholars can create under the pressure of time and grades?."  I was unable to trace the author, but as the work deserves wider dissemination, I present here the answers of most interest to a medical audience.

General:

Respiration:
"When you breathe, you inspire.  When you do not breathe, you expire"
"Respiration consists of two acts: first inspiration, then expectoration."

"For nosebleeds, put the nose lower than the body until the heart stops."
"For a cold: use an agoniser to spray the nose until it drops in your throat.
First aid:
