Water Bottle Cheat Sheets
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about a high school friend who created an elaborate cheat sheet for a math test.
"I remember in high school I had this buddy who basically took an Evian water bottle and undid the logo. They took the plastic off of the bottle and then on the inside they wrote all the equations for the math test that they needed to memorize. It was beautifully done. The handwriting was perfect. The equations were even sometimes in code in case they got caught so you couldn't decipher it.
I asked, 'How long did that take?' He said, 'It took hours.' I remember thinking, 'You could have just studied.' If you just studied, you probably would have got the same outcome, and it's way less risk. That's sort of like what's going on here with the overemployed situation."
