Still from the original video by Rachel Brown
Christopher Callam opens his organic chemistry course by throwing a ball out into the hall and calling it a proton. Whoever catches it has to finish the reaction by landing it in a bin down at the front, and if it goes in the whole room gets a hundred on the first quiz. Ten years went by with nobody making it. Then it happened two years running, and the first of those was never filmed, so on 2 September 2016 he told everyone to get their phones out first. Vinny Forte threw it from up in the seating and it dropped straight in. Rachel Brown posted the clip that afternoon and it carried from there to Today and the New York Daily News.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
