Do you think we are both psychic, Brian?<BR/>My most vivid exam memory was sitting a university exam with a couple of distractions either side of me.<BR/>To my right was a very mature student who had a problem and smelt strongly of meths and on the left was a young Malasian lad who had placed a large alarm clock on his desk. At the end of the second hand was a chicken's head, which kept going round the clock.<BR/>I actually managed to pass the exam.SharonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369769107190148944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-88556814630024036912007-06-30T12:35:00.000+01:002007-06-30T12:35:00.000+01:00GOOD DOG - Well, you know I don't think exams ever...GOOD DOG - Well, you know I don't think exams ever really finish: someone's always examining us about something --- even if it doesn't involve graph-paper!Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-46781621280785241772007-06-30T10:49:00.000+01:002007-06-30T10:49:00.000+01:00Oh, memories of exams.

Would it work for the Green Lantern, I wonder?<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't it have been great to go with the solution to "find x"? That's just brilliant. And the one where the equation goes to hell and the guy hangs himself. Of course it would have meant a good caning from the Head.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I know from my exams is that I don't have to do anything like that again.Good Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789861569691613179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-12904093844878409242007-06-30T09:42:00.000+01:002007-06-30T09:42:00.000+01:00BOLL WEAVIL - Those responsible for the examples g...BOLL WEAVIL - Those responsible for the examples given will probably all became local Councillors!<BR/><BR/>SUZANNE - Ouch!

I can't remember the question, but I just wrote - hard - "do it yourself" and handed in my exercise book later, having forgotten all about it!

Instead, I followed the common herd and just got it all conventionally wrong. Now I work for the council - a salutory lesson in where conforming gets you :-(Boll Weavilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03858122220880954456noreply@blogger.com
