  • The other thing I like to do online

  • is read stuff on BuzzFeed.

  • They posted that something that I thought was funny.

  • It's a quiz about Harvard.

  • It's an old admissions test from 1869 that Harvard used.

  • And it turns out we have someone here

  • on our staff who went to Harvard.

  • And I know this because he mentions it every time I

  • see him.

  • And I figured if he's smart enough to get into Harvard one

  • time, he could definitely ace a test from 1869.

  • This is Jason Gelles, everybody.

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Hello, smarty pants.

  • Hi.

  • So when did you graduate?

  • '96.

  • '96, all right and--

  • 1996.

  • Oh, thanks for clearing that up.

  • All right, I made these multiple choice

  • so that they're easier for you.

  • OK.

  • OK.

  • But these are--

  • I think they're hard.

  • OK, a man buys a watch, a chain, and a locket for $216.

  • The watch and the locket together

  • cost three times as much as the chain.

  • And the chain and locket together cost half as much

  • as the watch.

  • What was the price of each?

  • So we have A, the watch was $124, chain was $41,

  • locket $28.

  • B, watch was $108, chain $72, locket $36.

  • C, watch was $144, chain was $54, locket was $18.

  • D, watch was $103, chain was $26, locket was $11.

  • Which is it?

  • You know, I wish I wore my glasses because I

  • can't see any of these things.

  • Because you can't see, that's why you can't answer it?

  • Yeah, that's it.

  • It's hard to see.

  • But you know the question.

  • Yeah.

  • All right, so--

  • This is a guess.

  • It's D.

  • D?

  • D.

  • You're wrong.

  • [BUZZER SOUNDING]

  • No, it was C, the watch cost $144,

  • the chain-- did anyone know that?

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • Wow.

  • Who wants a job here?

  • [CHEERING]

  • All those people knew the answer.

  • All right, here we go.

  • Which graph below correctly shades the portion where

  • the co-seen--

  • Cosine.

  • Cosine, sorry, I didn't go to Harvard.

  • Cosine is positive.

  • Graph A-- I don't even know what a cosine is.

  • I know how to co-sign a loan.

  • I don't know how to--

  • graph.

  • A, graph B, graph C, or graph D?

  • I assume it's C. I'm going to say C.

  • You're going to say see C?

  • Yeah.

  • You're shaking your head.

  • Which one is it ma'am?

  • D.

  • No.

  • A.

  • A.

  • A?

  • Yes, it's A.

  • All right.

  • I was a visual arts major, so--

  • Clearly you bribed your way to get into--

  • were you want the rowing team?

  • [CHEERING]

  • Aw, Jason.

  • As a consolation, I know you love hugs.

  • So I'm going to give you a hug.

  • He's a very cuddly guy, he loves to be hugged.

  • OK.

  • [CHEERING] Thanks.

  • All right, we'll be back.
