MANGALORE: The Marathon Lecturer stopped at 11.30 am on Sunday, clocking 98 hours and beating the earlier world record of 88 hours for non-stop teaching.According to the article, "Ramesh is fine, but disoriented due to lack of sleep." But what about his students??
Towards the end, the strain on Annaiah Ramesh had begun to show, and he had to be stopped by his mother and the guide. Ramesh, lecturer from the department of applied botany, Mangalore University, was in the quest of Guinness Book of Records, and began his lecture on Wednesday morning.
He wanted to clock in 101 hours, but spotting his incoherent speech, his mother Kamalamma and guide Y Srinivasa Reddy from the department of sericulture, Mysore University, and others convinced him to stop as he had already gone past the record.

I wondered if any of the students interrupted him at the 49-hour point and said, "Is this gonna be on the test?"
That's over two full semesters of material, by US standards. What'd he do for the second day of class?
I guess it would be time for a 98-hour-long quiz...
