The Smartest Thing I Did During School
“Boarding school here. Mp3, phones etc. were prohibited, but a few people (including me) still had them. One of them was caught and expelled and all the charging points were covered up. There was 1 uncovered socket left, but it was 18 feet above ground, and was for a big appliance.
The solution we came up with was to steal stuff from the physics lab and make a voltage regulator. Then make 2 stacks of 3 people standing on top of each other. The top 2 guys worked the wires, and got us a connection. One stack went up everyday for almost a week before we were able to get a wire extender with a socket and get a permanent connection. It is still the craziest/most innovative thing that I have personally witnessed.”
