Golden Age of the Geek Lifestyle (1970) - Final Exams / Psychological Warfare

The closest thing to an orgy in the World of Geekdom - room full of nerds taking a final exam in the old gym. More about psychological warfare than actual learning - if you don't know the stuff, sabotage those that do,

 

One student came dressed in a tuxedo. After 45 minutes he pulled out a linen table cloth, a crystal goblet, and an ice bucket with a bottle of champagne, When he popped the cork, the average grade of everyone else dropped 30 points.

 

The next term, 45 minutes into the 3 hour exam I noisily and confidently walked to the front and handed the exam booklet to the proctor, 5 minutes later I returned from the restroom, retrieved the exam book, and quietly returned to my seat. Several students later told me that this demoralized them enough to affect their performance. What a shame!!
