Ugandan Students' Hilarious Exam Cheat: A Chemistry Coughing Caper Uganda, June 7, 2025 – A video of a Ugandan comedian narrating a comical story about students' ingenious exam-cheating method has gone viral. The story details how students at an unnamed Ugandan school developed a system of using coughs to signal the correct answers during a challenging chemistry exam. The comedian, whose name is not provided in the video, recounts the events with infectious enthusiasm. He explains how one particularly bright student, Paul, consistently scored high marks but intentionally failed to avoid suspicion. The comedian stated, "He would get 38 out of 40 and fail the two on purpose because he didn't want to show off." This led the other students to approach Paul for assistance. They devised a plan where Paul would cough once for answer A, twice for B, and so on. The video concludes with the students successfully using the cough code, and the comedian's humorous delivery enhances the narrative's appeal. The story's inherent humor and relatability make it suitable for a wider audience.
