Answer:
Evan, a kleptomaniac who has escaped from prison one too many times and is now held in a high security prison, is the protagonist of 'Evan tried the O-Level.' He tries to flee once more on the guise of taking the German O-Level test. He was a scruffy-looking man who had a habit of distracting people with cheerful talk. People are distracted by his knowledge and exceptional ability to deceive by the veneer. He wears a ridiculous bobble cap, which he utilizes as a diversion. To get out of the cell, he utilizes the front of Reverend Stuart Mc Leery, who was actually his friend posing as the examiner. Stephens kept an eye on them at regular intervals to ensure Evans didn't get away again. After becoming thinner and slumped in a chair, he begins to suspect Mc Leery. Evans had planned a chase throughout town using the hints supplied in the question paper. The photocopied sheet and rectification ship were superimposed to complete the details of Evans' escape plan. The hints were the index number 313 and the center number 271 on the answer sheet. The astute Governor combined the two and managed to apprehend Evans in the hotel.
