Catherine Habbie The book is probably written before 1970's. The main protagonist returns to his university as an adult and demands back a refund, as he believes his education has been worthless and his life a failure.
His professors conduct a mock test to prove he deserves to have passed out from the university. He deliberately gives the wrong answers and they use all their skills to convert it to relevant ones. Hilarious.

Ayshe | 4721 comments Refund by Fritz Karinthy (or Frigyes Karinthy) maybe? It's Hungarian, though.

Catherine Habbie It is the very same book. Unbelievable! I spent years trying to track this book down. And I barely posted it here a few hours ago! Thanks.
