It was a huge lecture hall in a university. About 1,000 students were having a Calculus final exam. Apparently this calculus teacher wasn’t very well liked. He was one of those guys who would stand at the front of the class and yell out how much time was left before the end of a test.
During the exam he was so busy going around the room making sure that nobody cheated and that everyone was aware of how much time remained before their failure one the test was complete. He asked the students to stack the completed tests on the huge desk at the front of the room. This made for quite a mess, remember there were 1,000 students in the class.
Anyway, this was a particular final, everyone needed a decent grade. Many students did poorly when rushed. And the professor standing in the front of the room barking out how much time was left didn’t help at all.
One of the students thought that he must assure himself of a good grade, so he hardly flinched when the professor said 「pencils down and submit your exam sheets and work to piles at the front of the room」.
Five minutes turned into ten, ten into twenty, twenty into forty…almost an hour after the test was 「officially over」, our friend finally put down his pencil, gathered up his work, and headed to the front of the hall to submit his final. The whole time, the professor sat there, strangely waiting for the student to complete.
As the student stood in front of him about to put down his exam on one of the neatly stacked piles of exams (the professor had plenty of time to stack the mountain of papers while he waited), the professor asked, 「 What do you think you’re doing ?」 it was clear that the professor had waited only to give the students a hard time.
「Turning in my exam,」 retorted the student confidently.
「I’m afraid I have some bad news for you,」 the professor gloated, 「your exam is an hour late. You』ve FAILED it and, consequently, I』ll see you next term when you repeat my course.」
The student smiled slyly and asked the professor, 「Do you know who I am?」
「What?」 replied the professor, annoyed that the student showed no sign of emotion.
The student rephrased the question mockingly, 「Do you know what my name is?」
「NO,」 snarled the professor.
The student looked the professor dead in the eyes and said slowly, 「I didn’t think so,」 as he lifted up one of the stacks half way, shoved his test neatly into the center of the stack, let the stack fall burying his test in the middle, turned around, and walked casually out of the huge lecture hall.
