Rich had to completely guess on almost half the questions on his final exam, and he then left all the other questions blank. "Guess I'll be
taking Particle Physics again next semester," he said to himself, and he
felt so embarrassed that he wrote a fake name on the test, the most
random name he could think of: Yann Scheele.
But there was actually a student named Yann Scheele at the university,
and he sat three rows down from Rich and had just patted himself on
the back for studying hard and acing nearly every question. He got up
and slapped his test down on the professor's desk, and then looked
around and saw that he was one of the first students to finish. He had
to resist the urge to dance on his way out of the lecture hall.
