Why on earth would your professor give you a quiz on something you haven't yet gone over in class??? I don't get professors sometimes...
Sounds like a reading quiz. Used to have them all the time in my history classes in college. "Read this and there will be a quiz and we will never discuss it and it will be on the final."
----granted that was 25 years ago...

I love that you engaged in a springtime, flower-smelling ritual, in front of a lobby filled with people! You should have gone ahead with the cat style though, and really shaken them up even more. Would have been worth it. Heck, if they were staring at you to begin with, it just proves to me that they have no fun spirit left in them.
