00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,040
How's it going everyone Today we
have a story time of a iPad kid 

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,440
who fails his exam and thinks 
that he's a master hacker. 

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,240
So he's going to somehow hack 
his grade to be good. 

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,720
Let's just say that it blows up 
and fails miserably and the 

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,880
ending is hilarious. 
So you're going to enjoy the 

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,440
story. 
So leave a like in the video

right now to claim your free

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,360
if you're new and like stories 
and with that being said, let's 

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,760
just jump right into it. 
So we're going to call a 

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,040
subscriber who submitted this 
story Will. 

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,920
And there's this, there's this 
kid in his class who we're going

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,280
to call Ben. 
And Ben was the iPad kid. 

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,720
And Ben was the kid who spent 
all day on his iPad. 

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,280
He was just playing video games 
and watching YouTube Shorts 

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,320
literally all day. 
And so this story all happened 

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,960
one day in class where they had 
a pretty big exam in this iPad. 

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,840
Like it was a big kind of big 
cumulative test. 

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,600
It was like coming towards the 
end of the fall semester, the OR

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,440
the first semester, whatever you
want to call it, right? 

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840
So it was kind of a big test 
about everything that was 

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,120
happening leading up. 
And the way that they did it is 

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,040
they had an exam they had so 
like the last two weeks of 

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,960
school before we went back for a
Christmas break. 

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,320
The first of the second two 
weeks, right? 

25
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,640
It's something where you take 
the exam and then there's 

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,080
another week where it's almost 
like a chill week in this class.

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,120
And partially the reason is the 
teacher that the teacher did 

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,800
this is because the teacher 
realized that in the last week. 

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,240
So in the second of those two 
weeks, every other class had an 

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,760
exam. 
So he was thinking, why don't I?

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,440
Yeah, I'm doing it a week 
sooner. 

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,760
So in theory, kids aren't able 
to study for as long. 

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,160
But let's be real, I know these 
kids, everyone's going to cram 

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,760
it all at the end is 8th grade, 
right? 

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,480
No one's like, oh, I'm going to 
think through this. 

36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,880
So it was actually a very nice 
thing because you were able to 

37
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,400
kind of focus on this exam and 
then you can almost take a pause

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640
and then focus on all your other
exams and presentations and 

39
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,280
everything else you have for the
other classes. 

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,680
So it was actually quite nice. 
Anyways, though, so sure enough,

41
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,360
in the week leading up to the 
exam, the subscriber Will and 

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,160
all of his friends were putting 
in a decent amount of effort 

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,720
because they knew that this exam
was going to be pretty hard. 

44
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,480
This was, I mean, it was eighth 
grade. 

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280
It was an algebra exam and it 
was something algebra one, which

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,800
I know a lot of you guys, some 
of you guys might be scoffing at

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,760
that like look, algebra 1 is 
hard. 

48
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I graduated college with a math 
degree and I could even say like

49
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,240
that stuff can be hard, man. 
I mean, right now it might not 

50
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,360
be that hard for me, but like, 
especially actually when I was 

51
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,640
taking that back in the day, 
like that was a struggle. 

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,200
And the thing too is like, you 
can't really wing it. 

53
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,800
And if you can wing it, then 
maybe you should go get a PhD in

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,440
math and solve cancer and save 
the world. 

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,560
I don't know, that might be an 
extrapolation, but everyone in 

56
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,800
the class was putting in a 
decent amount of effort because 

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960
they just realized that this was
going to be fairly challenging. 

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,320
However, the iPad kid Ben was 
not so in the days leading up to

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,080
the exam. 
Like they basically had the 

60
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,600
class period every single day 
leading up to that Friday of the

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,640
exam. 
They had the entire class period

62
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,160
to sit there and study. 
Like the teacher was super 

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,840
chill. 
Not only did he not put the exam

64
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,920
where everyone else's exams were
going to be the following week, 

65
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,000
he also gave that entire week of
like not teaching anything. 

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Now I'm just going to give you 
no homework, no materials in 

67
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,360
class. 
You literally have all the time 

68
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,000
to study. 
So you said you better use it 

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,720
right? 
I'm not just being the nicest 

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,120
guy ever while I'm being a 
pretty nice for a teacher. 

71
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,480
I will tell you this exam is 
hard and definitely warrants you

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,760
spending this time at least in 
class. 

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520
And I also recommend that you 
know what? 

74
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,480
You would have spent the 3060 or
90 minutes for homework every 

75
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,400
single night. 
I would recommend you also study

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,280
then too, but I'm giving you 
double the opportunity. 

77
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,160
So during that week leading up, 
you know, will, you know, he 

78
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,520
wasn't always the most focused 
and the teacher kind of let 

79
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,880
people do what they want to do. 
He was like strongly encouraging

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800
the people studied during the 
class period. 

81
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,480
But he also believed a little 
bit in that kind of personal 

82
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,720
accountability, that personal 
responsibility basically being 

83
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,760
like, hey, man, if you're not 
actually going to take this 

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,760
seriously, then you're going to 
get a bad result on the test. 

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,640
But also, if you've like crushed
it and spent so much time on 

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,640
your homework, maybe you're 
ready and you can spend this 

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,640
time for something else. 
I really don't care. 

88
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,079
Do what you want to do. 
But I am giving you this quite 

89
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,200
nice of an opportunity, you know
what I'm saying? 

90
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,280
So sure enough, you know, 
Will's, you know, and his 

91
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,160
friends are doing, you know, 
they're trying to study, they're

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,680
going through doing whatever. 
And they look over and they see 

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,680
this iPad kid Ben, who is on his
iPad, quote UN quote, studying 

94
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,200
bro literally has his headphones
in watching like Roblox Tik Toks

95
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,480
bro. 
But he is on there giggling with

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,680
his big headphones. 
And the teacher kind of notices 

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,000
this. 
But also we'll call him Mr. 

98
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,920
Davenport. 
But remember, Mr. Davenport very

99
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,000
much believes you can do what 
you want to do. 

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,720
But also, let's just say that 
Ben was not like APHD in math. 

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,600
He was not a math Olympiad. 
He was not Terrence Tao, but he 

102
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,680
was not going to save the world 
with his mathematical abilities.

103
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,040
And there's nothing wrong with 
that. 

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,720
In fact, I got a math degree in 
college, but I was in low math 

105
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,080
in high school. 
I was not good at math in high 

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,920
school. 
I was not in the top. 

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,880
I was in the bottom class. 
So I will say that anything is 

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,440
not anything is possible, but 
like if you're determined and 

109
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,200
maybe I got my math degree 
partially out of spite of being 

110
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,160
like, screw you guys, I can 
actually do this. 

111
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,840
It also turned out to be really 
cool and interesting and a great

112
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:28,000
idea. 
But what I'm trying to say is 

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,080
like, bro probably should have 
used the time to study, but 

114
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,280
buddy was out there ripping 
YouTube shorts. 

115
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,160
Buddy was on TikTok giggling 
away at some skippy toilet 

116
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,680
nonsense. 
Bro, like, come on now. 

117
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520
You're given this great 
opportunity in class to study. 

118
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
And at one point, like the day 
before the exam, Will sitting 

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,760
next to Ben and this is the 
fourth day in a row of him does 

120
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,600
the laughing at YouTube shorts 
in class and kind of like leans 

121
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,520
over. 
He's like, bro, don't you think 

122
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,600
you should be studying? 
Like I've been told from 

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,200
everyone that, you know, Mr. 
Davenport's exams are really 

124
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,920
hard. 
And Ben's like, no, I actually 

125
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,200
don't. 
And Will's like, oh, so you 

126
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,160
think you're really good at 
these? 

127
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960
Like Nope, I don't think I'll be
good at all. 

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,200
He's like, wait, so you're OK 
getting bad grade? 

129
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,640
He's like, no, no, no, no, no. 
I don't think you understand. 

130
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,760
Here's the truth. 
I've been studying, yes, but 

131
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,160
I've not been studying algebra. 
I'm not a beta male like you. 

132
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,520
I've been doing the alpha male 
thing. 

133
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,520
I've been studying hacking. 
And well, this looks at him 

134
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,560
like, bro, you cannot be serious
right now. 

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960
What do you even mean by that 
buddy? 

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Bro actually came out and said 
that I've been studying hacking.

137
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,640
Like OK, Reddit's Reddit's down 
the hall to the left, bro. 

138
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Like come on now. 
And so the iPad kid Ben goes on 

139
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,600
to say that it doesn't matter 
what he's going to score on this

140
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,560
exam because he's literally 
going to any and quote in quote.

141
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,000
By the way, this is a quote hack
into the mainframe to change his

142
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,360
grade. 
If anyone says to you I'm a 

143
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,520
hacker, first of all, Discord is
down the hall to the left, 

144
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,800
buddy. 
But anyways, if someone says to 

145
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,680
you that they're a hacker and 
then they proceed to say that 

146
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,080
they're going to hack into the 
mainframe, All this means is 

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,800
that buddy watched the 1st 20 
minutes of the Matrix movie and 

148
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,960
watched like 1 YouTube video 
about Python or something. 

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,480
He's like, Oh my God, I'm a 
hacker. 

150
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Hello world, I did my first for 
loop. 

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,240
I'm a hacker buddy. 
It's like all right, all right, 

152
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,600
all right, all right. 
That's not the case. 

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680
And you know, Will is not some 
master hacker. 

154
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,240
Will is not some computer 
science PhD Bro is not at 

155
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,600
Microsoft. 
He's not a tier one at Microsoft

156
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720
getting 600 KA year to manage 
some programmers. 

157
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,560
He's not an expert at the cloud 
code or anything. 

158
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560
But bro, at the end of at the 
end of the at the end of the 

159
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:59,080
day, he realizes that this iPad 
kid Ben is completely Larping 

160
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Bro. 
He's not a hacker and he's going

161
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,760
to absolutely have this blow up 
in his face and there's no 

162
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,360
question. 
But this is also something where

163
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,880
Will has learned that, you know,
he, he doesn't dislike Ben. 

164
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,360
He doesn't necessarily like him 
either. 

165
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,040
I mean, Ben is saying that he's 
a beta male and that, you know, 

166
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960
he's actually that or the Ben's 
a beta male or that Will's a 

167
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,960
beta male and Ben is an alpha 
male because he's hacking and 

168
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,280
learning how to hack or 
whatever. 

169
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,920
And he doesn't have to study. 
He can watch AI slop all day and

170
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,920
laugh. 
But he's also Will's learned the

171
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,039
truth that some people cannot be
saved. 

172
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,400
You guys are going to learn this
at some point in your life. 

173
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,200
You know, it was something where
I not that I have like was like 

174
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,440
a savior complex. 
It wasn't even that. 

175
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,440
It wasn't even like some people 
can't be saved. 

176
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,760
It's just some people can't be 
helped and they need to learn in

177
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,280
their own way. 
You can tell people all the 

178
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
right things. 
You can give them all the tools 

179
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,040
to succeed. 
You can try to show them the 

180
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,600
light, but there's certain 
people, their brains are just 

181
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,600
wired in a certain way. 
Or really, the biggest thing is 

182
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,320
sometimes you just need 
perspective. 

183
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
If there was one thing in this 
world that I wish I could 

184
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,640
purchase that I cannot, that 
would be perspective. 

185
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,640
That would be intuition and 
experience. 

186
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,080
If you when I've experienced 
things go horribly bad for me, 

187
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,640
I've always tried to pay 
extremely close attention to 

188
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,680
what went wrong, why, and I'll 
never make that mistake again. 

189
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,040
And those turn out to be since 
the errors have not been fatal 

190
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440
so far, and hopefully not 
forever. 

191
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,840
I learn actually I get I get 
more value out of those 

192
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,400
experiences than whatever I lost
in the moment, no matter how 

193
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,720
large the loss is. 
This is one of those situations.

194
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,840
Then the iPad kid has become way
too confident because he's 

195
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,240
watched the Matrix for 5 minutes
and went on Reddit once and has 

196
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,160
done one for loop in Python or 
something. 

197
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,600
It probably didn't even work. 
It's like when those memes where

198
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,640
it's like, oh, like here's my CS
final. 

199
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,520
It's like the calculator app. 
It's like 1 + 1 equals syntax 

200
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,640
error or something. 
But anyways, he's got to learn 

201
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880
this the hard way. 
And will, the subscriber 

202
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,240
understands this. 
Sure enough, the next day comes 

203
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,240
around. 
It is the day of the exam. 

204
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,080
And you know, you know Will's 
paying attention. 

205
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,800
He's doing all right. 
It's definitely like he prepared

206
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,120
a lot, but it's one of the one 
of those things where it's like 

207
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:27,840
there's certain exams. 
I definitely experienced this 

208
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,480
where it's like even with all 
the preparation in the world, 

209
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,040
you go into the exam and you're 
like, damn, I'm still not ready.

210
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760
It was one of those where Will 
knew that he was going to do all

211
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,040
right. 
And he also knew that he did put

212
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,600
in a good effort and that, you 
know, if he got an 85 or 

213
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,520
something or a Knight like he 
did well, right, He's going to 

214
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,320
do all right. 
He's not going to be top of the 

215
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,240
class and he's OK with that 
because he put in the effort. 

216
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,640
He didn't, you know, sell 
himself short and just watch 

217
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,200
iPad, you know, YouTube shorts 
all day instead of studying. 

218
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,160
So he was fine. 
But during that exam, he kind of

219
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,160
looked over and Ben was like 
just kind of like sitting there 

220
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,920
drooling, just like scribbling, 
doing random multiple choice 

221
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,600
answers. 
Ben finished his exam in like 6 

222
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,600
minutes because he just went 
through and went like a BBA A/C 

223
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,440
DA, just like boom boom boom, 
boom boom boom. 

224
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,400
And the only thing that like he 
spent time on were the free 

225
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,960
response where he kind of just 
like put in all these like bro 

226
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,720
was not doing math correctly. 
That's all I'm going to say. 

227
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,880
So Ben was the 1st to get up and
walk up to the teacher, Mr. 

228
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Davenport and hand over his 
exam. 

229
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,360
So I can honestly relate to kind
of the the test anxiety of being

230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,800
first to submit your exam. 
I was always a fast exam taker. 

231
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760
I wasn't always correct, but it 
was something where I wasn't 

232
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,160
going to sit on a problem or or 
really anything across the 

233
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,640
board, history, math, physics, 
whatever. 

234
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,080
I was not someone who was going 
to sit on a problem and slowly 

235
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,800
go through it and then I figure 
it out. 

236
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,040
It was always something where I 
either really, I knew it or I 

237
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,760
didn't, right? 
And quite often I'd be very fast

238
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,560
with it and it was just, I tried
to pace myself, but I'd be fast 

239
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:04,600
and sometimes I'd do really 
well. 

240
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,680
Sometimes I'd do less than 
great. 

241
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,960
But I would always be one of the
first to finish my exam. 

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,760
And I would always sit there and
just wait until someone else 

243
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,960
went up first. 
I'd usually wait till two or 

244
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,280
three people went up, then I'd 
go up and hand up my exam even 

245
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,720
if I was done like 10 minutes 
early. 

246
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,120
It's kind of dumb. 
It was like no real reason 

247
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,200
because like who cares? 
But I, I, it's funny, I have one

248
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,840
of my friends, my actual friend 
Will in real life had the same 

249
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,200
thing happen to him, which is 
partially why I chose him for 

250
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,960
the name of the story. 
But anyways, Ben within 6 

251
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
minutes of a 50 minute period 
went up and handed in his exam. 

252
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,000
Mr. Davenport gave him a look 
and he's like, Ben, Are you sure

253
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,160
you're done? 
He's like, Yep. 

254
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,320
He's like, OK, just so you know,
once you hand this in, it's 

255
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,800
final. 
We don't do test corrections for

256
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,920
this final exam while we have in
the past for other exams. 

257
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,360
So just maybe take a second to 
review it. 

258
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,120
So he hands the test back to, 
you know, Ben, usually when the 

259
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,840
teacher hands back your test, 
you should go back and do 

260
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,000
something different. 
And it wasn't as if Mr. 

261
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Davenport looked at his answers 
and was like, oh OK, well these 

262
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,120
are all wrong. 
But the teacher has a good 

263
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,120
assessment of if you finish it 
ridiculously early and 

264
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,120
especially you're not like the 
top kid in the class. 

265
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Because at the end of the day, 
Mr. Davenport knows how well Ben

266
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,560
has done on his homework and 
exams and quizzes and general 

267
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,840
comprehension. 
And it's pretty unlikely that he

268
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,520
has just jumped leagues ahead in
his knowledge even given all 

269
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,960
this time. 
Because he also realizes that in

270
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,360
class, Ben was just giggling at 
YouTube Shorts all day. 

271
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,560
But anyways, usually when a 
teacher does this, they have 

272
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,320
some good intuition or context 
signalling you to go back and do

273
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,120
it again. 
But he hands the exam to Ben. 

274
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,360
He looks at it. 
Ben goes like kind of like 

275
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,040
pretends to speed read through 
all the answers and within 10 

276
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,720
seconds, hands it back. 
He's like, OK, just double 

277
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,960
checked. 
I'm done. 

278
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,320
And Mr. Davenport's like, OK, 
Once again, Mr. Davenport is 

279
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,440
very much a, you will either do 
well in this class or you will 

280
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,400
learn a great lesson of how to 
do well, or you'll just fail. 

281
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,920
That's always an option. 
You might not learn anything and

282
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,360
was very much a do what you got 
to do. 

283
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,640
I'll give you structure and I'll
encourage you, but it's also 

284
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,400
your actions are a result of 
your or your your actions. 

285
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,360
Your you know, your actions are 
an input that determine your 

286
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,920
outcome. 
So if your outcomes are bad and 

287
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,040
your actions are bad, then 
hopefully you can go back and 

288
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,040
you know what I'm saying. 
Anyways, so next Monday rolls 

289
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520
around. 
The weekend goes by, and Mr. 

290
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Davenport's, he's a fast grader.
It always kind of annoyed me 

291
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,200
when teachers would just, like, 
take years to grade. 

292
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,720
And look, I understand, 
especially in college, it gets 

293
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,320
hard. 
They're people, too. 

294
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,760
They have lives, all that kind 
of stuff. 

295
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,240
I'm like, bro, even if you have 
multiple classes, like, you 

296
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,640
expect me to complete some crazy
assignment. 

297
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Just graded, bro. 
So, yeah, next Monday or the 

298
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,720
following Monday rolls around 
and sure enough, at the very 

299
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,840
beginning class, Mr. Davenport's
like, all right, guys, I have 

300
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,320
all your exams. 
Remember, you know, there was 

301
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,480
kind of a range of results here.
You know, most of you did, did 

302
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,560
very well. 
But you know, you can always 

303
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,000
recover. 
You know, remember your grade, 

304
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,920
yes, your mid semester, your mid
year, whatever grades will be 

305
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,920
posted, your teacher, your 
parents will see them. 

306
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,120
But you can always recover. 
I've made it so the second-half 

307
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,480
of the year is weighted more 
heavily so that everyone can 

308
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,640
have an opportunity to recover. 
I love it when teachers do this.

309
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,760
By the way, I remember that 
there was a, there was a linear 

310
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,360
algebra class that I took in 
college and I ended that class 

311
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,400
with an A. 
But the first exam I had, I 

312
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,040
literally got a 40 on it, an 
exam, by the way, like a big 

313
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,280
test. 
And from that I was like, oh, I 

314
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,040
did not study this properly. 
I did not approach this 

315
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,280
properly. 
I had enough opportunities to 

316
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,080
iterate on your problems, right?
You're never going to get 

317
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,400
everything right in the 
beginning. 

318
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,600
And I'm someone who will fail 
drastically. 

319
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,320
But I've also gotten good at the
skill of looking at the mistakes

320
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600
I've made in the past, making an
improvement and having that kind

321
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,000
of iterative process of you get 
an outcome, you get some results

322
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,280
in the outcome, you change your 
process, you do it again, you 

323
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,280
get results in your outcome, you
make changes, you kind of get 

324
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,560
you, you do that again and 
again. 

325
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Having a good iterative, 
iterative, iterative. 

326
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,880
Sorry, I've been speaking for 
too long, Iterative process is 

327
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,880
very important for all aspects 
of life in general. 

328
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,600
But anyways, sure enough, he 
goes around handing back these 

329
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:16,960
exams and let's just say that he
gave Mr. Benny boys exam face 

330
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,680
down, which always means you're 
cooked buddy. 

331
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Unlucky. 
So yeah, Will gets his exam 

332
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,600
back. 
He got an 85. 

333
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,200
He's actually pretty happy about
that. 

334
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,080
He was like, I know I didn't 
crush it, but this is pretty 

335
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,600
good. 
You know, he's talking to his 

336
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,920
other boys and they did about 
the same one of his like boys 

337
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,360
who's just like a genius got 
like a 93 and he's like, dude, 

338
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,080
screw you. 
I know I studied more, but such 

339
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,600
is life. 
My friends, such as life. 

340
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Figure out things you're good 
at, double down on those and try

341
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,200
to get better at the other 
things. 

342
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Whatever. 
But yeah, he looked over and 

343
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,520
like Ben was sweating bullets 
and he looked over and kind of 

344
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:54,360
glimpse 28 bro got a 28 actually
cooked which the only points he 

345
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,400
got was because he kind of got 
lucky and his random guessing 

346
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,760
and by yeah, he got lucky and 
got a 28. 

347
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,600
What I mean by that is he 
randomly guessed for so many of 

348
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,640
the, he randomly guessed for 
every single like like ABCD 

349
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,800
multiple choice question and he 
just happened to get like a 

350
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:13,760
pretty good percentage on those 
and everything else just like 

351
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,400
completely flopped. 
So sure enough, the teacher is 

352
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,040
like, all right, well, you know,
I got to go to the bathroom, 

353
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,160
like feel free to like review 
these and you can talk to me 

354
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,960
after class. 
So he gets up, leaves the 

355
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,960
classroom, and that's when Ben 
is just, like, staring at his 

356
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,320
paper. 
And he looks up, and he sees the

357
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,000
computer, The teacher's computer
is just sitting there. 

358
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,720
And then he has this little smug
look on his face. 

359
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,800
And he turns over to Will. 
He's like, remember how I said I

360
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,480
was a hacker? 
And this doesn't matter? 

361
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,160
And Will's like, yeah, I 
remember you saying that, bro. 

362
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,200
And he's like, yeah, watch. 
So he stands up, and he starts 

363
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,400
to walk to the front of the 
class. 

364
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,880
And Will's like, is this kid an 
idiot? 

365
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,760
The answer to that is yes. 
By the way, if you made it this 

366
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,960
far into the video, I want you 
to comment pants down below. 

367
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,560
Like the thing that you wear 
PANTS. 

368
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,560
I'm just just a pair of pants in
my floor that I need to wash. 

369
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,520
And I'm just looking at that. 
That's the secret word of the 

370
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,640
day. 
I like seeing the names and 

371
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,640
faces of of the people who made 
it this far into the video as I 

372
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,040
do appreciate you guys. 
Anyways, so he walks up to the 

373
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,280
front of the classroom. 
He goes up to the teacher's 

374
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,520
computer. 
So his version of hacking the 

375
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,000
mainframe meant just going on to
this guy's computer and trying 

376
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,880
to change it. 
So the computer's left on and 

377
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,800
he's just sitting there. 
He's like typing away. 

378
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,120
And Mr. Davenport must have just
had to take a piss or something 

379
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,040
because he was back in like 2 or
3 minutes. 

380
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,520
And he walks into the classroom 
and Venice is on his computer. 

381
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,200
Mr. Davenport doesn't say 
anything. 

382
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,680
He just walks up to him because 
he's very curious and he's like,

383
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,280
I want to catch this kid in the 
act or whatever he's doing. 

384
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,120
And Ben is like frantically 
typing away, clicking into 

385
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:45,560
things. 
And Mr. Davenport is just 

386
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,400
standing behind him like a scene
in the movie, dude. 

387
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,360
And the whole class is just 
like, not is just went 

388
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,960
completely silent 'cause they 
want to see what happens here 

389
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,200
too. 
And Mr. Davenport's like clears 

390
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,520
his throat and Ben like jumps up
from his chair like a buddy. 

391
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,720
It was like Buddy was playing 
Five Nights at Freddy's for the 

392
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,560
first time and got that, you 
know, unexpected foxy jump 

393
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,440
scare, bro. 
Like Buddy just jumped out of 

394
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,400
his chair. 
He's like, oh, and Mr. Dragon 

395
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,120
Board's like Ben, he's like, I 
saw your computer was left on, 

396
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:20,160
so I came over here to turn it 
off to save you power. 

397
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760
He's like, really? 
Then why is it on? 

398
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,800
He's like, I couldn't find the 
power button. 

399
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,720
He's like, OK, but why is it 
open to my grading sheet? 

400
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,960
And he looks like like moves 
over to his computer. 

401
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,720
He's like, it looks like your 
exam grade has changed on here, 

402
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,800
Ben. 
He's like, oh, I think it was a 

403
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,560
glitch when I was trying to turn
off your computer. 

404
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:46,120
He's like, Ben, come with me. 
He's like, well, I didn't do it.

405
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:49,800
He's like Ben. 
Ben's like, OK, so basically Ben

406
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,640
went up there, tried to change 
his grade and apparently he 

407
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,680
tried to change his grade to a 
100. 

408
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,440
Which like bro, you don't think 
the teacher is going to realize 

409
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,680
when he calculates your grades 
that you went from like a 70 in 

410
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,920
the class to a 98 and be like, 
oh, maybe I inputted something 

411
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,560
wrong. 
Like if you got a 28 and you had

412
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,640
the opportunity to change your 
exam grade, bro change it to 

413
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,320
like a 68 or something so that 
your total grade doesn't 

414
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,440
immediately shoot up and cause 
suspicion but it also doesn't 

415
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,520
tank down. 
Either way, you shouldn't do 

416
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,800
this because it will probably 
cause suspicion and then the 

417
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,000
teacher will be like, oh, I must
have inputted this wrong and 

418
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,760
change it back to what it's 
supposed to be. 

419
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,200
But this is the lesson that like
buddy's not a master hacker. 

420
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,520
And then like just just study 
for your exams. 

421
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,320
Don't think, oh, I'm just going 
to cheat my way out out of this.

422
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,600
It usually doesn't work and you 
should not OK, it doesn't work. 

423
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Just don't just actually study 
for the exam. 

424
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,080
Guys, come on.
