How can I learn statistical mechanics in less than 40 hours? I have an exam the day after tomorrow and I haven't started studying.
Follow up question assuming that it's impossible: How do I pretend to be good at statistical mechanics so that my professor is convinced that I should pass?

No, you need to take the ensemble average over all possible configurations of answers on the exam to find the most probable score

Possible configuration of each answer is either correct or incorrect
All comes out in the wash. 100 exam questions is like 100 coin flips. 50% to pass.

You will just memorize it, like all low IQ creatures who have no respect for science and only care about passing the course via material wealth. You are just a peasant with a book and I suggest you kill yourself. right. fucking. now.
