I made the calculations for the adjusted circuit diagrams. I checked my calculations against the original circuit diagrams and had the same answers. I handed in my assignment and received a grade of 0%, the lowest grade possible, for getting the correct calculated answers; saving components; truly understanding Kirchoff's laws by my re-design; exercising my ability to think constructively and wasting an extra hour of my time for doing so. I wonder what score I would have got in a university in a socialist country.
Did you ask your professor why you received a 0%?
