How good is your punctuation?
Bob where John had had had had had had had had had had had the higher mark.


The above sentence is grammatically correct, it just needs some punctuation.

A twix to the person who gets it right first. Unless you use google, in which case I'll lace your twix with Sudan 1.

the last part should read 'the higher mark' as opposed to 'was better'. I cocked up.

And no, you'll need more punctuation than that anyway

Bob, where John had, had had, had had, had had, had had, had had the higher mark.

Worth a go, even though it doesn't qualify as a sentence really.

But yeah, it's about John copying an essay off Bob word for word, but excluding one word. When asking the teacher why Bob got a better mark for a virtually identical sentence, the teacher explained.
