You're SpongeBob SquarePants – Can You Finally Get Your Boating License?

You&#x27;re SpongeBob SquarePants – Can You Finally Get Your Boating License?

You walk into boating school for the 400th time. You're ready, you're ready, you're ready! You're going to pass your boating test and get your boating license! Today is the day!!!

You meet an exasperated Mrs. Puff outside. She clearly has no confidence in you. "Okay, SpongeBob," says Mrs. Puff. "Let's start with the oral exam. You must pass the entire oral exam, as well as the driving exam, in order to obtain your license."

"I'm ready!" you say.

"Good, SpongeBob," says Mrs. Puff. "Let's begin. What is the front of the boat called?"

The stern (incorrect)

"I don't know how, but you've failed, SpongeBob. Unfortunately, I'll see you again soon to re-take the test," says Mrs. Puff. She looks like she needs a vacation.

Port (incorrect)

"You have passed the oral exam." says Mrs. Puff, who has seen you pass this portion hundreds of times before. "Now, on to your driving exam."

Your confidence over winning the oral exam starts to fade. The driving exam always trips you up! But you HAVE to get your boating license today! No more messing up!

Mrs. Puff gets into the passenger seat of the boat and you nervously sit in the driver's seat.

"Okay, SpongeBob," she says, checklist in hand. "What's the first thing you do?"

1924 (incorrect)

![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/BkIXBlu-X.png)


1924? (incorrect)

You start the boat. Mrs. Puff feels the jolt of the engine and is terrified you've done something wrong, but soon realizes you actually remembered the first step!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rJyS4lOWQ.png)

"Good. Good. Okay, now, what's next?"
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/Skpq4l_bX.png)



Start the boat

You floor it. The tires spin, squeal and dig deep into the sand while the boat is still in park. You have failed!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SyqCLedbm.png)


Floor it? (incorrect)

You put the boat in drive. Mrs. Puff has been flinching up until this point, waiting for you to inevitably floor it, but somehow today, you stayed level-headed and remembered not to!

"That's...that's right, SpongeBob! Wonderful!"
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/S1yqSgubQ.png)


"Now, SpongeBob, I want you to think hard about the next step. What do you do next?"

Put it in drive (correct)

"That is incorrect, SpongeBob, but I appreciate your awareness for safety. I'll give you another guess," says Mrs. Puff, eager to get this over with.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rkq0j-dWm.png)


Turn on the signals (incorrect)


![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/HkWX5W_b7.png)


Put the boat in reverse (incorrect)

You resort to your natural instinct to floor it. You zoom through the course, veering off the road, hitting traffic cones and even pedestrians. Then you drive straight into the school. It's over. But hey, tomorrow's a new day!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/r1Q1Peu-Q.png)


You floor it in reverse. You immediately crash into the lighthouse behind the school. Mrs. Puff puffs up, as you've seen her do in boat crashes you've caused so many times before. She is taken to the hospital, and you leave boating school with no license.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SJB4wlO-Q.png)


Floor it in reverse? (incorrect)

You punch your big toe right out of your shoe and gently tap the gas pedal with it. The boat drives slowly and smoothly out of the parking space. Mrs. Puff is almost crying from relief and happiness.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SkmkylPWm.png)

"Yes! Yes, SpongeBob! That's right! Keep it steady, just like that!"

You're now approaching a brick wall. The road curves left around it. What do you do?
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rJfjoR8W7.png)


Use my big toe to tap the gas (correct)

You drive into the wall, totaling the boat. Needless to say, you have failed your boating test!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/ByGxK-_-7.png)


Drive into the wall (incorrect)

You can't take the pressure! You've done well so far, but your nerves have overtaken you. You park the boat back in its spot at the school and tell Mrs. Puff you are not, in fact, ready. There's always tomorrow, and the day after that, and every day until the end of time!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SypBF-_Z7.png)


Get nervous and drive back to boating school (incorrect)

You turn on your signal and gently turn with the road. Mrs. Puff is dismayed. You kind of are too. How is this going so well? 
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/HJ19JgDZQ.png)

You're approaching a stop sign. Oh no...too much pressure! What in the heck do you do??
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rkEgxePb7.png)


Turn with the road (correct)

You scream "1924! 1924!" over and over as you approach the stop sign. You're so distracted as you think about this date that you forget to stop at the sign. You crash the boat into it. You have failed your test.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/HyBKtfOb7.png)


1924?

You gently pull to a stop at the sign while Mrs. Puff lets out a gigantic sigh of relief. "Is this a dream?!" she warbles. "No! It's not a dream! SpongeBob, my dear, you are doing so well! At this rate, you'll pass your boating test with flying colors!" She gathers her composure. "Continue, please!"
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/Sy-asAIZQ.png)

You keep driving until you approach a roundabout with a flag in the middle. How do you proceed?
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rJTFlew-m.png)


Stop at the stop sign (correct)

Yes! You made the correct turn at the roundabout! Mrs. Puff is having the time of her life! 
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/Hyh2nAUW7.png)

Now you've reached a part of the road that curves up and back down vertically. Yikes! Should you:
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/S1vBOg_WX.png)


Drive counter-clockwise around the flag (correct)


![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/ByWPn-uW7.png)


Drive clockwise around the flag (incorrect)

You floor the boat into the flag, totaling it and instantly failing the test. 
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SyHA1GOZX.png)


Floor it into the flag (incorrect)

You went up and down the hill, and surprisingly, it was a breeze! Mrs. Puff cheers you on.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/BJON0RIbQ.png)

Your spirits are high now, and you're starting to gloat a little. But wait...OH NO! THere's a giant anchor in the road! What will you do?!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/r1LTuxubQ.png)


Follow the incredibly steep hill (correct)

You've hit a pedestrian! "My leg!" shouts the man. There's no doubt about it now: you have failed your driver's test!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/ry3UDZ_Zm.png)


Temporarily veer off the road, avoiding this area (incorrect)

You floor it, thinking it'll help you to get up the steep hill. Instead, you crash straight into the bottom of it, ending your boating exam.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/S1HAPb_WX.png)


Floor it to get some good momentum (incorrect)

"What are you doing, SpongeBob? That's part of the course!" says Mrs. Puff. "I just don't understand you! Your test is finished."
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/H1xokzOZ7.png)


Stop the boat and try to move the anchor out of the road (incorrect)

"Yes! YES! WELL DONE, SPONGEBOB! I'm so proud of you!" wails Mrs. Puff in mid-air. Is this even reality?! Are you really going to get your boating license today?!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/BkCEgJvbX.png)

But you've still got a ways to go before you're a certified boat driver. You're approaching a ring of fire in between two ramps. Think, SpongeBob! Think!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rJKWKgO-7.png)


Drive over the anchor

You drive around the anchor, but while congratulating yourself for being so imaginative, you hit a huge piece of coral, damaging the front of the boat. "That's coming out of your pocket, SpongeBob!" says Mrs. Puff angrily. "Now please, exit the vehicle! You're done!"
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/BJM2kM_b7.png)


Drive around the anchor (incorrect)

You made it through unscathed! Surely no driver has ever done so well on their boating test!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/Syeqv1PZ7.png)

You're so excited about nailing the ring of fire that you almost don't notice an old man crossing the four-way intersection you're pulling up to. How do you handle this?
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/HkFDKxdbQ.png)

Drive up the first ramp, through the ring of fire, and down the second ramp (correct)

"SpongeBob, what made you think that was an option?" asks Mrs. Puff. "I will drive us back to school now."

Put out the fire, then drive through the ring (incorrect)

"What's wrong, SpongeBob?" asks Mrs. Puff. "Keep going, please." 


Bring the boat to a screeching halt (incorrect)

"SpongeBob," says Mrs. Puff. "That was incorrect. Unfortunately, you have failed the boating test. But because I simply cannot imagine doing this all over again, I'm going to give you the opportunity to do an extra credit assignment. If you complete it, you will get your boating license."

Mrs. Puff drives you back to the school and you sit down at your desk. "All you have to do is write a ten-word sentence on what you've learned in boating school."

"But I've learned so many things!" you say, overwhelmed. 

"Just pick one! I don't care which!" says Mrs. Puff.

You start your sentence with "What I learned in boating school is..." You only need three more words. How do you finish?!

Wait for the man to cross and then proceed

Mrs. Puff checks something off her checklist as you return to the boat. "Perfect! STUPENDOUS!"
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/H1Hut1PZX.png)

"You've basically passed your test, SpongeBob! All you have to do now is cross the finish line!"

The finish line stretches out before you. It's so simple: just drive. You've gotten this far. You've passed every single trial.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/H1mGqywZm.png)


Get out and help the man cross, then get back in and proceed

As you swerve around the man, you just barely miss hitting him. Mrs. Puff lets out a shriek. "NO, SPONGEBOB, NO! Stop, stop, stop! I will drive back to school. You are done!"
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rJVckMdbQ.png)


Floor it, swerving around the man

"WHAT?!" exclaims Mrs. Puff. "YOU CHEATED???" It never occurred to you that this was cheating. Now you're crying and Mrs. Puff is angry that you wasted her time. Your test is over and you have failed.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/Syc_ol_WX.png)


Reveal Patrick has been giving you the answers through an antenna in your head this whole time

You safely and slowly cross the finish line like a pro. This is a momentous day for you! You've finally done it!!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/BJAl3lOZX.png)

You drive the boat back to school and Mrs. Puff gives you your license. You can't stop looking at it. After years of taking and re-taking the boating exam, you've done it! You're a certified driver! CONGRATULATIONS!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SkXJPZdb7.png)


Cross the finish line

"Please stop the boat," says Mrs. Puff, utterly exhausted. 
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/B1Knjgub7.png)


For the last three words, you wisely wrote "How to drive." Genius! Mrs. Puff wipes the copious sweat off her brow. The tension had been mounting, but you persevered. She hands you your brand new license, and you walk out happier than ever before!!
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/Sk-jUWOZX.png)


"how to drive"

Mrs. Puff looks at the paper you turned in. It's clear this was too much pressure for you. She sighs. "Please leave, SpongeBob." You have not earned your boating license today.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/SyAOHZ_bX.png)


A drawing of a jellyfish, a boat, and yourself

Mrs. Puff holds her head in her hands. It's clear this was too much pressure for you. She sighs. "Please leave, SpongeBob." You have not earned your boating license today.
![Image Alt Text](https://img.buzzfeed.com/store-an-image-prod-us-east-1/rJMVUbOZ7.png)


Is it hot in here, Mrs. Puff?! My hand is cramping! I can't do this! I CAN'T DO THIS!

Mrs. Puff is in disbelief. "What?!"

You don't even know what just came out of your mouth. You know you've failed the test. Oh well! Better luck tomorrow!
