OK, so some of your friends (or maybe you) have flunked a grade at some point or took a little longer than you planned with college but … 44 years? Vegetable stand or no, it is hard to imagine being so busy with work that you simply cannot study enough to pass secondary school exams. But one man has had precisely this problem:

A 65 year-old-man from Kanpur city in India is taking his secondary school exams for the 44th time, hoping this time he’ll finally pass. Undeterred by 43 years of trying without success, Mian Jabbar Husen is determined to make yet another attempt.

A teacher who could no longer afford to print out the tests for his classes has taken to selling ads on his students’ tests. The current pricing is $10 per quiz, $20 per test and $30 per final. Most of the ads are from parents and local businesses. What kind of a message would you put on your kid’s test?
