Anyone who's ever been tasked with writing lines will tell you it quickly gets boring. Very boring.
However, one student who was served up such a punishment found an ingenious way to make the 'sentence' a little less arduous.
Posted
on social media site Imgur, the anonymous pupil was clearly hoping to
pull the wool over the eyes of his teacher with his clever time-saving
technique.

At least ten of the letters that
feature in lines that appeared on social media site Imgur were dealt
with with one time-saving vertical line; the image has since been shared
500,000 times
The
lines begin neatly enough; with the sentence 'I will make better
choices' written by the teacher at the top and then copied five times by
the youngster in question.
Then
the real skill begins; the student works out that if they take any
letter that has a straight back on it eg an I, l, k, b, t and h, then
one line written vertically from the top of the page to the bottom will
take care of all those letters, bar a few minor tweaks.
The
mischievous student then tried to take the maverick approach to letters
'r' and 'm', which is pushing the boundaries but somehow works when laid
out on the page.
The image of the page has since been shared nearly 500,000 times in just three days.
It's
not known what the student's teacher made of the time-saving technique
but it's doubtful that they were rewarded for their ingenuity.
