In a pattern that defies all odds, every freshman boy in Ms. Hansel’s Physics class scored a 67 on their most recent quiz last Friday. While puzzled at first, Hansel quickly suspected collusion. “I’ve never had students cheat to get a lower grade before,” she explained, completely nonplussed by the whole idea.
Students however, claimed they worked hard for the grade. “We spent hours studying together on Thursday night,” said freshman Luka Tolomio, “and then Will said, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if we all got a 67?’ Will Hough, the mastermind of the plot, claims, “It wasn’t that hard. We all knew we were going to get 100% after the practice problems review, so we made a pact to only answer ⅔ of the questions.” Hansel told The Lookout that when she passed the quizzes back, all of the boys tossed them in the air, stood, and with an annoying vocal inflection and upturned palms, called out “six-seven!” As the bell rang, Hansel claims she heard whispers of “let’s do 41 next quiz.” For her part, she countered, “What about 0? That would save me some time grading.”
