A rural Indian kid goes to the city for a 3rd standard school interview, after someone notices his heaven sent talent for rote learning. The kid can't comprehend English, so the school janitor who is from the same village, gives him a tip: “Sit near the interview room and memorize the answers the other kids give—the questions are usually the same.” So the kid waits outside and listens closely. One kid goes in: “Who’s the father of the nation?” “Mahatma Gandhi,” the kid replies. Second question: “Who was the first woman Prime Minister of India?” “Indira Gandhi.” The third question is random each time, so the rural kid has trouble memorizing. One kid is asked: “Are aliens real?" The rural kid memorizes like his life depends on it. Now it’s his turn. The interviewer looks at his report and feels pity. So, he sends the kid to a different room. A different interviewer ask him a much easier set of questions. “What’s your father’s name?” The kid proudly says: “Mahatma Gandhi.” The interviewer raises an eyebrow and is confused but still continues, “Your mother’s name?” “Indira Gandhi,” the kid replies. Now irritated, the interviewer asks, “Are you insane?” The kid, without missing a beat, says: “I don’t know yet... scientists are still researching!"
