It seems like the school year just started and already someone has outsmarted their professor in the most brilliant of ways. Earlier this week, Professor Reb Beatty, who teaches business administration at Anne Arundel Community College, held the first test of the semester. As usual, the professor allowed students to bring in a "3-by-5" notecard to serve as a cheat sheet. Most of the class likely stayed up all night attempting to transcribe an entire chapter’s worth of material in tiny handwriting, but one student had a better idea. Since Prof. Beatty never specified the dimensions were in inches, one super-genius brought in a notecard that was 3-by-5 feet instead.

　　虽然学年刚刚开始，但是似乎已经有人以最聪明的方式胜过了教授。本周早些时候，在安妮阿伦德尔社区学院教工商管理的Reb Beatty教授进行了本学期的第一次考试。像往常一样，教授允许学生们带上一张“3乘5”大小的笔记。大部分的学生可能整夜都在试图如何在这张纸上写上更多的字用，但是有一个学生却想出了一个更好的办法。由于Beatty教授从未说过“3乘5”的单位是英寸，一名超级天才居然带了了一张3乘5英尺的小抄。

　　As precise as I am, apparently I never specified inches and therefore yes, it was allowed, the professor wrote in the caption of an Instagram pic he snapped of the massive cheat sheet. "Well played and lesson learned for me."

　　这位教授在Instagram上分享此小抄时候说:“虽然我对纸的尺寸进行了明确规定，但是我一直未说明单位是英寸，所以她这样做是合乎要求的。这张巨大的“小抄”也给我好好上了一课”。

　　The student in question is Elijah Bowen, who has been crowned the Internet’s newest hero. "Clearly the smartest student in the class," one person commented on Instagram, while another gave some the student some enterprising career advice: "This student has en eye for detail... That’s an excellent quality in accounting." And another Instagram user even added that he "would like to interview this person for future position w/ my company."

　　这名问题学生叫做伊利亚鲍文，现在也成为了网络上的最新红人。“显然是班上最聪明的学生，”有人在Instagram上评论说。另一个人针对此事从职业生涯角度给学生提了一些建议:“这个学生很注重把握细节，那可是身为会计非常重要的品质。”另一位Instagram用户甚至补充说，他“真的挺想要这个学生来应聘他们公司。”

　　Professor Beatty has since commented on his own Insta post explaining that he has to "make a quick update to the syllabus and course modules" — so, unfortunately, this was a one-time life hack.

　　随后Beatty教授在分享上发表了评论，他解释说必须“快速更新教学大纲和课程模块”—所以，不幸的是，这种情况可能只有这一次了。

　　Obviously, the question in everyone’s mind was whether Elijah actually passed. According to Professor Beatty’s Instagram, he "did quite well," with "grades to be posted momentarily." With a mind like that though, he should just go ahead and award him a perfect score.

　　显然，所有人都想知道的是伊利亚是否真的通过了。Beatty教授在分享上说他“做得很好”，“分数很快就会被公布。”尽管如此，他还是应该去给他一个完美的分数。
