Boy Messes Up On Test

East York Institute: On Tuesday, high school student Lenny Portamakinski got a question wrong on his history test, earning him a 98%.

 "I'm so shocked," says Daniel Pleasant, expert on cheating. He had been cheating off on Portamakinski. "I was cheating off of him and I got that question wrong. Because of him, I didn't get perfect on that test."

 Portamakinski answered the 18th question of his test with 1914. The correct answer was 1912, two years off the date he put in. The test was out of 20.

 This shocking behavior seems to be spreading: several students have put in wrong answers on their tests. Fellow classmates of Portamakinski who have gotten wrong answers include Mary-Sue Pleasant with 94%, Circe Beaker with 87%, and Dach Shund with 67%. The lowest mark in the class 55%.

 "Lenny's wrong mark seems to have left a bad impression on our class!" says child psychologist Dr. Papil Lion. "Imagine: students not getting perfect marks on tests!"

 "Who has ever heard of someone not getting a perfect mark on a test?" asks Dr. Hubgerber, so-called expert on UFO's, being homeless and "people-ology."

 Portamakinski has refused to comment on his mark, other than that he forgot the right answer to the question. He guessed the answer he put in.
