Forget the Math and Science, you got first dibs if you can transfer beads, marbles and beans from one plate to another using chopsticks.

Southflorida.com reports

Successful applicants to the Hisatagakuen Sasebo Girls’ High School in south Japan must be able to transfer marbles, beads and beans from one plate to another using just a pair of chopsticks, Kyodo News agency reported, citing the school’s principal Junko Hisata.

New entrance requirements judge applicants’ lifestyle habits through their handling of chopsticks. The exam must be taken by all applicants — aged 15 or 16 years — starting with those wishing to enroll in April, the start of Japan’s academic year, the report said.
