This book contains a repertoire of hilarious mistakes in geography, history and philosophy fished from everyday life, and analyze the main strategies adopted by students to fool the professor who knows what, however, is unknown. Its uniqueness is that it is updated to the last hour, and in the case of errors (some of which are unthinkable if not today) that the tricks used to pass the school year without straining neurons. Traditional media have in fact added new tricks-prof: smartphones, which allow access to Wikipedia, the preferred source of the boys, or sites made just for them. But "The sister of Schopenhauer was an escort," he is also the affectionate and funny portrait of the generation smartphone-equipped, trying desperately to get away to school in a kind of struggle for survival not unlike that of the manager who tries to impose itself, in 'eternal antagonism between those who judge and who must be judged.
