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.
