Maybe he took avantgarde exams, in a university that was 20 years ahead?

I took a bunch of exams at Southampton University, and the rules were
that you couldn't leave in the first fifteen (15) minutes, precisely
to allow (not necessarily Mixoid) stragglers to get there.

And it's behavior like this which voids Mixi's claim that he's shy. Shy
people don't draw attention to themselves the way Mixi does.

Don't you have a dictionary?

How exactly is that archaic ?

Doesn't it strike you as pure logic that the questions and problems of
an exam must be kept secret until the very scheduled beginning hour?

If you have six hours to write a philosophy essay, that is six hours.
Not a month at home.

I'd really like to know how is that archaic. I wonder if there is even a
place where written exams and competitions are not happening that way.
But I have a feeling you won't answer.

What kind of phenomenal memory? It would just require that someone
leaving early passes on the actual énoncé (French word) to the
latecomer.


What is that habit of you of denigrating France and Europe as archaic
countries, on the basis of surrealistic premises?

You have not admitted knowing everything that has ever happened
in all of history. Does that mean it has not happened?

You did not state this at the beginning of the discussion.

If you are going to give precise and restrictive definitions, please
do so at the start of a discussion.
