The Smartest Guy in the Class
One day, the teacher walked into the classroom and announced:
“Today, we’re having a surprise test!”
Everyone groaned.
Except Mark.
Mark was smiling confidently.
The teacher handed out the papers.
After five minutes, Mark raised his hand.
“Ma’am, I have a question.”
“Yes, Mark?”
“Can I borrow a pencil?”
The teacher frowned. “You didn’t bring a pencil?”
“No.”
“Then why are you smiling?”
Mark smiled even wider.
“Because I also didn’t study.”
The teacher stared at him.
“That’s not something to be proud of!”
Mark nodded seriously.
“I know.”
“Then why are you so happy?”
Mark pointed at the test paper.
“Because I just realized…”
The teacher waited.
“…this is a multiple-choice test.”
“So?”
Mark whispered:
“I have four chances to be wrong instead of one.”
