A Most Eventful Midterm Examination

I learnt a powerful lesson today, just before an exam... two, actually.

Part 1:

Someone had raised up their hand to get a switch of places, because the chair-table was for lefties and this guy is a rightie. He gets his rightful place (pun intended).

Reminded that I was sitting at a leftie seat, I requested a change of seats. The Professor and TAs scrambled about the lecture theatre to find a spare seat. One was located and I got a seat up at the top.

My friend, who was conveniently located the seat above at another leftie-table and behind me, not wanting to be left out, requested the third change of seating. By now, the crowd is roaring with laughter and booing at this annoyance. The Professor personally dragged a table with a label stating "RESERVED" across the carpeted lecture-theater floor, placing it where I previously sat. When the Prof stopped pushing, applause ensued.


Part 2:

While I was scratching my head over some heavy weight multiple choice questions (worth 5pts/100 each, 6 of them in total), one of my sneaky classmates was sitting there blankly, discretely looking in my direction. When I would tilt my head in his direction, his head would scramble back to rightful place. After many minutes of this thinking-dueling, I decided to hide my good answers in a deliberate manner while looking at him. The TA came over and told my sneaky mate to scoot over, into the middle of the row, too far to see my answers.
