The question:

nǐ zhīdào lǐ lǎoshī de diàn huà hào mǎ mǎ
你住到李老师的电话号码吗？

The class’s response:

hǎo de hěn

好的很

The explanation:

The question is asking if we know Li Laoshi’s phone number. The word for number, hao4 号 is one tone off from hao3 好 meaning “good”. Add in two ma’s, and…well, you can see how one might arrive at such an answer.

Hopefully.
