When I was at college, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did  1    work. Some of them did just enough to   2   . Others didn’t do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students’ Café than working   3   .

Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important exam in chemistry. It had

  4   questions. Beside each question we had to write “Wrong” or “Right”. While I was studying in my room the night before the exam, Fred was watching TV. He usually  5   the night before an exam, but on the night he looked very relaxed. Then he told me of his plan.

“It’s very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the exam. I’ll take  6   into the classroom. I haven’t studied a   7   book for months, so I’ll just toss the coin. I’m sure I’ll get half the questions right in this way.”

The next day, Fred came happily into the classroom. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour when he wrote down his answers.  8   he left, half an hour before us.

Two days later, he saw the chemistry teacher in his office. He asked, “Have you got the  9   of the exam? What score did I get?”

The teacher looked at him and smiled, “Ah, it’s you, Fred. Just a minute.” He reached into his pocket and took out a coin, threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.

“I’m terribly sorry, Fred,” he said, “You   10   .”
