Economics was never my strongest subject. Looking through the economics exam above, I don’t think it was Gregor’s either. His answers start off okay, but by the fourth question he reaches the limits of his powers and then a catastrophic rout begins. In the end, he manages to get only a single point. I’ve hastily translated his answers into English below. If you can understand Slovene, I recommend clicking the image above and reading the original.

Here are his answers:

a) Represent building and industry.

b) Money that is temporarily taken out of circulation.

c) Is a share that has the advantage of paying out a dividend in case the company goes bankrupt, while for simple shares they can run out of money, they are paid out last.  (He got one point for this)

e) Combined or corporate property is p   (Hammertime)

d) I have no idea.

f) Even less idea.

g) This I also don’t know.   (Here he uses a Styrian dialect. It’s hard to translate.)

h) Wait, wait, I know this one! Or maybe not.

i) I don’t know the answer to this question.

j) It’s funny, why do I even bother?

1. What if I leave and study for Wednesday?

2. Okay, I’m going.

3. No, wait, I know this one! False alarm.

4. I think I’ll really get going now.

5. Five more seconds and I’ll turn in this paper.

6. If I don’t leave in a minute …

7. … I will definitely leave in an hour.

8. Enough joking. I have no idea anyway. I’m leaving.
