Harpy Surmew Baw!
When I was teaching, I had a quiz on Newton's Laws that I always gave to my physics classes on the day before Thanksgiving. It was a multiple choice quiz and if someone got all the answers right, the letters would spell out Happy Turkey Day. To get this to happen, of course, I had to use letter choices other than the standard abcde. This would sometimes flummox the kids for a while, but as soon as they realized that it was going to spell something, many of them, who had most of the answers right already, were able to figure it out and get a perfect score. However, not all.
The one I remember to this day read HARPY SURMEW BAW. Not one of my best students, I guess, and, in fact, I don't remember who it was, but I do remember their answer.
So from me and my student, I wish you all a Harpy Surmew Baw. I hope your surmew is tasty and moist.

P.S. (What score would you give the student?)
