I agree with the above. It's what I'd do too...

I would take the 2 points, but that would be with the hopes that the rest of the class would be smart enough to figure out that that is the best option, in order to get 2 points rather than 0 points. But that's a big IF on whether the rest are smart enough...

If you're grading on a curve and there are x number of people, you better believe that most people are picking 6.

You're getting a 0 no matter what you do.
