In 9th grade I was too tired and too stoned to do chemistry class so I slept through it most of the time. At exam time, the only thing I could do was sit behind the smartest Chinese kid and copy answers. It was multiple choice so it was possible to cheat. But I couldn’t see his paper part of the time, so my answers were 50% copied from the smart kid’s paper and 50% from another nearby person. When the test results were available, my score was THE TOP SCORE in the class. The chem teacher gave me a C anyway because he knew there was no way I could have gotten the top score. I could have taken the test again with him proctoring me and nobody else around but I didn’t.

In my senior year high school physics class I thought I was going to fail the final exam because I couldn’t remember all the formulas. We were allowed to bring a calculator to the classroom for the test. I had the kind that had a soft black plastic cover that folded over the front. I realized that I could write the formulas in the inside of the cover using a black pen, so they wouldn’t be visible except at the right angle when the overhead fluorescent lights in the classroom would cause them to reflect in a slightly reddish tint. So I used a principle of physics in order to pass my physics exam. image
