Not really news. Makes one wonder how the heck it could make it to the front page.

Not really news. Makes one wonder how the heck it could make it to the front page.
- ISL 13y agoBecause people upvoted it?
- aspensmonster 13y agoAnd why did they do that?
- schreiaj 13y agoBecause they were interested in it.
- notacoward 13y agoBecause HN readers are highly interested in how to game the same system the same way.
- wnissen 13y agoI was more interested in it as a potential failure of our "meritocractic" educational system to promote those with true potential instead of the right family connections. Sort of the other end of the spectrum from being born a black male in Oakland and, pretty much regardless of one's potential, being consigned to a lower-middle-class life at best. I want the kids who will invent the next Internet to succeed, regardless of background.
