I was in Oxford...but I was taking a literacy test in the University museum! Since I'm a 19-year-old doing university mathematics, and not an 8-year-old who's learning basic English, I found the test rather easy, but I didn't understand the last question, so I wrote a silly answer.

The next day, I was summoned to the examiner's office. He looked something like a stereotypical Victorian teacher: he was old, in full academic dress...and he was clearly very angry with me, since he did not see the funny side of my silly answer. After he'd finished yelling at me, he allowed me to choose between three punishments:

• I would be fined £1;
• Any children I might have in the future would never be allowed to go to St John's College;
• My sister would never be allowed to go to St John's College.

I chose the third option, since I was pretty sure my sister wouldn't want to go to the same college as me, even if she did want to go to Oxford one day!
