    For anyone who ever tried or thought about cheating in an exam.......

    At Sydney University, there were four students taking Organic
    Chemistry.They did so well on all the quizzes, midterms and
    labs, etc.,that each had an "A" so far for the semester. These four
    friends were so confident with the finals approaching that the
    weekend before, they decided to go down to Canberra and party with some
    friends there.

    They had a great time. However, after all the hard partying, they
    slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Sydney until early Monday
    morning -
    the morning of their final exam! Rather than taking the final
    then,they decided to find their professor AFTER the exam and explain to him
    why they missed it. They explained that they had gone to Canberra to do
    some research in the ANU archives for the weekend with the plan to come
    back in time to study,but, unfortunately, they had a flat tyre on the
    way back, didn't have a spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a
    result, they only just arrived now! The professor thought it over and then
    agreed they could make up their final exam the following day.

    The guys were elated and relieved. They studied hard that night -
    all night and went in the next day at the time the professor had told
    them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test
    booklet, (which was out of 100 points) and told them to begin.

    The first problem was worth five points. It was something simple
    about free radical formation. "Cool" they all thought in their
    rooms,"this is going to be easy." Each finished the problem and then turned the
    page for the next question

    See below ......................


    Question 2 (for 95 points): Which tyre was punctured ?

    Uhmm dont be offended but this was on here about twce before i think ?


    on this topic though:

    In trinity some very stupid rules remain, dont know if true but a guy from there told me along with the joke:

    Students are allowed a pint of mead before a exam.(one fella did this but got busted by the following rule)


    Students must have their sabres apon them when walking the open grounds (something like that anyway, teacher busted the guy with the mead for this)

    CLASSIC: Student who get A's in their
    Exams have permission to fire arrows from the highest windows at passing Catholics (from the Protetant days)
