Marketing Test

A short story about today:
Our teacher had graded exam one and had them in class for us. He began by saying, blah blah blah, how was the test, blah blah blah..then he told the class that about on average, each multiple choice question takes about a minute (there were 58 questions). Some of you finished a little later then that, and well, one of you finished in thirty minutes and he stared right at me. I'm thinkin to myself, oh no! i blew this one didn't I? Then he was talking about somebody in the class got a 98% and that in his six years of teaching, nobody had ever done that well on the first exam. I peered around the room and came to the conclusion that it must have been the girl behind me, she seems to be quite intelligent.
He began by calling out our names alphabetically to approach him and privately view our scores. I was the second person called and I told him just to yell it out and that I didn't care whether people knew how well or badly I might have done. He replied, no no you must come up here. So now I'm thinking I'm really screwed. I see a 98, and since the test was out of 150 I was like yeah that's not too good. He then congratulated me and I looked next to the 98 and it said 147. I was shocked..I cooly played it off and gave him a "no shit?!". First time for everything I guess.
