I remember when my calculus professor offhand mentioned these and jerk. He had a really dry sense of humor, so I didn’t realize that he wasn’t joking with us (the class) until like two semesters later.
If I remember right, it wasn’t on any test. Those tests were all problem solving, and none of the problems had derivatives deeper than acceleration. It was awhile ago though, I could be misremembering
And I had no idea what the fourth derivative was called so I had to look it up. It’s called snap or jounce.
And fifth/sixth derivatives are crackle and pop because some physicists thought it would be funny to have it be “snap crackle and pop”

So, you didn’t realise that during the unit test?
