A friend of mine took a game theory class with this system. Partial credit also given for partially correct solution. Completely wrong bullshit answers would lose 10%, or something like that.

Yes, obviously wrong answers (like negative energy) would get negative credit. They'd get >=0 credit if they'd annotate the answer with "I know this is wrong, but I can't find my mistake."

Sounds sensible to me.
