hungry by th<strong>at</strong> time and decided to go to the mess to<br />
have a quick breakfast. After a quick snack they were<br />
heading towards L-7 in order to give their exam. They<br />
went and settled in the last row of L-7 with Chashmish<br />
in the middle and everyone else spread uniformly<br />
around him. At 7:55 the teaching assistants of prof. Roy<br />
came in and distributed blank answer sheets to<br />
everyone. At 8:00 prof. Roy entered the lecture hall and<br />
gave thick question papers to the Teaching assistants to<br />
be distributed. By the time question paper got to<br />
Chashmish, he had already realized th<strong>at</strong> the paper was<br />
extremely tough based on the dejected expression on<br />
the faces of people in front of him. The same<br />
expressions came on his face as soon as he saw the<br />
question paper. It was 26 pages long!! Prof. Roy had<br />
apparently put in all his efforts to make sure none of<br />
them passed the course. Chashmish regained his calm<br />
after a few minutes of panic and started reading the<br />
question paper. Although it was lengthy and confusing<br />

in between, Chashmish started whispering question<br />
numbers, a brief approach to solving the problems and<br />
the final answers to the people sitting next to him. The<br />
people sitting next to him did the same which ensured<br />
th<strong>at</strong> everyone in the group knew how to solve the<br />
problems and wh<strong>at</strong> the expected answers were. All of<br />
them had studied <strong>at</strong> least th<strong>at</strong> much to ensure they<br />
could get the answer somehow. Three hours went in a<br />
jiffy. Although none of them could finish the papers in<br />
full, they didn’t care. They had solved enough questions<br />
to make sure th<strong>at</strong> they were in the green. All of them<br />
got out and gave a grand tre<strong>at</strong> to Chashmish in the<br />
canteen. All of them were sure they had passed. All they<br />
needed to do now was to wait for the results. They<br />
didn’t have to wait long, <strong>at</strong> around 1pm they received an<br />
email from Prof Roy asking them to come and pick up
