第31章 帕里斯·希尔顿参加期末考试

Paris Hilton reports for her university final exam which consists of mainly true and false questions.

She takes her seat in the examination hall,staring at the question paper for five minutes,and then in a fit of inspiration takes her purse out,removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet:true for heads and false for tails.Within thirty minutes she has done,whereas the rest of the class are still working furiously.

During the last few minutes,she is seen desperately throwing the coin,swearing and sweating.The moderator,alarmed,approaches her and asks what is happening.

“I finished the exam in a half hour.”she replies.“Now I'm rechecking my answers.”

帕里斯·希尔顿参加大学的期末考试,考试主要是判断正误题。

她在考场中坐下,盯着试卷看了5分钟,突然,来了灵感,她把自己的钱包拿出来,掏出一枚硬币,开始掷硬币:如果是正面,题目就是正确的;如果是反面,题目就是错误的。不到30分钟,她就把题目全做完了,而其他的同学还在努力地作答。

距离考试结束还有几分钟,她疯狂地掷着硬币,一边出汗一边破口大骂。监考员见此,过来问她怎么回事。

“我只用半小时就做完了,”她答道,“现在我在检查答案。”
