If at first you don't succeed,

.. try try try try try try again and again and again and again [39 times!]

Did you hear about this 73 year old man in India? He's been sitting for, and failing, his 10th Grade exams [I'm guessing it's either the SRP or SPM level] since 1969. I'm just wondering, did he do any sort of studying, or trying to figure out what he'd done wrong in the past, because wow, to still fail after 39 times... Einstein's definition of insanity comes to mind...

[full Yahoo!News article here]

[UPDATE: Saturday 8am: don't you hate sloppy reporting? According to Reuters he's sat & failed 38 times, according to Associated Press it's 39. How shameful! Get the story straight, people!!!]

  2. You'd think he would eventually just get lucky and beat the odds with that many attempts.
