<p>Aids and cancer obviously. All that other stuff is so superficial. </p>
<p>You could help more people with the cure then you could with a billion dollars, Cambridge and Ox give you a great education but there is no guarantee of success in life, getting into all ivies would only give you bragging rights, and the SAT is possibly the biggest scam in institutionalized education history.</p>
<p>I can use that to get into all of the ivies, cambridge, and oxford, then use the cure to earn one billion dollars. As the founder of aids and cancer, I don’t need a perfect ACT or SAT.</p>
<p>If you take out the cure for cancer/aids, and change the billion dollar lottery to $2 million lottery, you may have a fair question. Except no one’s going to choose perfect SATs, because even if you sold the method, the test companies would quickly find out and adjust their tests accordingly. And SAT/ACTs are a means to college.</p>
<p>Hmm… the government could be interested in anyone who can ace all written tests (like Chuck! Poor guy, getting kicked out of Stanford for being too smart and in the wrong class…), and I’m sure you could get them to pay you a lot if you just got them to give you questions in written format. “Where will the next terrorist attack be? What will prevent said attack? What is the best way to allocate our government resources?” etc. And then you’re graded on the results of the government following through with your answers.</p>
<p>'Cause, duh, I probably already went to an Ivy/Oxbridge, got a perfect SAT, and I’m probably rich enough to afford the research equipment to find a cure.</p>
<p>Maybe. But don’t most teachers/professors take a week or so to grade your tests? Well, howabout the government takes two years to “grade” your test. It could even be pass/fail, based on whether or not your recommendations worked. If, by following your course of action, you DIDN’T solve world hunger within a year, then you fail.</p>
<p>Hmm, what if the cure has a terrible side effect that gives people advanced stages of HIV or cancer instead of preventing/curing it? Or it’s only available to the rich? Or you became your own guinea pig and died while finding the cure?</p>
<p>I think I’ll take the $1 billion TBH. Even if you were to cure HIV/AIDS and cancer, there may be a new virus or disease that’ll come into existence the minute these two are cured.</p>
