A local second-year student has taken issue with his uni’s torts exam referring to a 19 year old with the same name as him. Mr John Smith, 19, was outraged after opening his LLB202 final exam to see another John Smith had been fictitiously been accused of public nuisance.

The second-year was outraged to see that his name was up in lights and conflated with being a nuisance. “What’re people going to think?! I’m obviously being picked on!” Mr Smith pondered deeply during his allocated exam time of 3hrs and 10 minutes.

“People are going to think I’m the one that has committed this hypothetical offence! I’ve got to fix this in a logical and efficient manner!” John exclaimed to himself, after which he starting running around demanding interviews with known newspapers and nightly news programs.

Obviously this resulted in drawing attention to how much of a nuisance, and self important bloke, Mr Smith is, which somehow shocked him.

“But it’s obviously me! Who else could the problem be referring to? I’ve literally never met another John Smith?” he said in an interview with News Nightly at Night on Channel 14. Mr Smith somehow neglected to note that he actually doesn’t go to uni that often, and that there are three other John Smiths in his LLB202 tutorial.

In the grand scheme of things, no one would’ve drawn the inference between this bloke and the guy in the exam that was indicted for nude sunbathing at Surfers Paradise. However, with Mr Smith drawing this whole thing into the light, possible nude tanning or not, I doubt he’ll be invited to any social gatherings with his peers any time soon.

To add insult to injury, Mr Smith’s entire LLB202 cohort will now be required to sit a second exam as the paper was made public before it was due to be submitted. Good thing Mr Smith only has 4.5 years left of his dual business and laws dual degree to deal with being the dunce of the law school.
