谁做过什么事 让你觉得他很聪明?
What did someone do that made you think they were really smart?
From：Brad Neil
In high school, our faculty placed a jar filled with jelly beans in a glass case in the main hallway, and invited each student to guess over the next couple of weeks how many beans there were. Closest guess would win.
在高中的时候，我们的老师在主走廊的玻璃盒子里放了一个装满果冻豆的罐子，然后请每个学生在接下来的几周里猜有多少豆子。最接近的会赢。
The winner was a fellow who already had a reputation for being quite smart. But this was really more of a "lucky guess" kind of thing, wasn't it? His winning must have been coincidental to his scholarly reputation, right? How could this super-student have had any real advantage over the rest of us?
获胜者是一个已经有了聪明名声的家伙。但这更像是一种“幸运的猜测”，不是吗?他的获奖对他的学术声誉来说一定是巧合，对吧?这个优等生怎么会比我们其他人有什么真正的优势呢?
Well, as it turns out, Smarty had gone out and purchased himself an exact replica of the jar in the school hallway, as well as a few bags of the exact same jellybeans....and ended up "guessing" the number of beans almost exactly!
原来，Smarty出去给自己买了一个学校走廊里那个罐子的复制品，还有几袋一模一样的软糖……结果“猜”出豆子的数量几乎是完全正确的!
He won a hundred dollars, and to my mind, deserved every penny!
他赢了一百美元，在我看来，每一分钱都是应得的!
