KU's star quarterback had to get his grades up in order to play in the big game at the end of the season. His coach knew that this was impossible without some incredible rule-bending. So he decided to test him to the limit.

He arranged for the professors who were unhappy with the player's work to create a special test for him. They finally decided on a good, short quiz. They brought the quarterback into an empty room that was filled with books, magazines, calenders, and electronic computing equipment (calculators, computers, etc.). They told him that he would have five hours to complete the one-question quiz. He agreed and they left the room. The profs. checked on him every hour and recorded his progress. At the end of the five hours, they ask him for his answer.

He said, "Just a minute! I've almost got it!" After ten minutes of this, the profs. get agitated and finally yell at him, "We need an answer! How many seconds are there in a year?" they asked. And finally he replied, "12."

"12?!" exclaimed the exasperated educators.

"Yeah, the second of January, the second of February, The second of March..."
