Will this idea net former Big Brother housemate big bucks on Shark Tank?

REMEMBER the Harry Potter lookalike from the last season of Big Brother?

Well he’s back for another shot at some small screen cash, but this time he’s traded housemates for sharks, pitching his big idea on Sunday Night’s episode of Shark Tank.

Richard Hordern-Gibbings was billed as “the brain” during the 2014 series of Big Brother, and along with his business partner, former AFL player Hugh Minson, is chasing a hefty six-figure investment from self-made multi-millionaires Janine Allis, Steve Baxter, Andrew Banks, Naomi Simson and John McGrath.

Minson is the younger brother of All Australian and Western Bulldogs star ruckman Will Minson. Hugh was drafted by Port Adelaide in 2005.

The pair are offering up a portion of their online business, Nexus Notes, which sells the notes of top university students to other students in exchange for cash.

The concept of trading peer-to-peer educational notes initially piques the Sharks’ interest, but as five of the best business brains in Australia start to probe the financials of the business, the deal begins to unravel.
Minson told The Gold Coast Bulletin in August last year that Nexus Notes was borne out of the pair’s frustration while studying at the lack of access to high-quality study materials.

“We thought, surely there is a way to monetise this idea,” Minson said.

The notes, which can be previewed online, are sold for $35, with the student pocketing half the sale price. While still in its infancy, some cash-strapped students have used the site to earn up to $2000 by uploading their notes.

The cocky 20-somethings initially entered the Tank in search of a cheque … but instead are handed a reality check and a lesson in Business 101.

Tune in 7.30pm Sunday on Channel Ten to see

Regardless of who it is, I always find it a bit too naked and exposed if, when pants are that low, I can't see a bit of pubic hair. That bit on a man is very odd without some hair. The answer for my satisfaction is, PULL YOUR PANTS UP!!!! Sheesh.

Just make your own study notes. Jesus. The amount of short cuts already available to some students now is embarassing.

Agreed. Soon there will be an entire generation of professionals who got their qualifications through very half-arsed means, which is totally what the world needs.

Exactly. Memorising someone else's study notes doesn't help you learn a thing. You learn by actually understanding the material and therefore being able to summarise it and come up with study notes yourself.

I figure if you can't get through uni without needing someone else's study notes you probably shouldn't be there.

I'm sure Richard and his mate have seen this as a cash cow (and hey, good on them for having the drive to turn it into something) but I wonder if they've actually considered the implications of something like this taking off and it becoming standard practice.

The no access to proper study materials line is a cop out. Unis give students more than enough resources to succeed. They just don't hand them the answers on a platter...and it seems that's what Richard and Hugh, and the people accessing these notes want.

The word for it is "Plagiarism" in a sense. The practice of taking someone else's thoughts, work or ideas and passing them off as their own.

Yep, the half-arsed/lazy aspect of it is only one implication. There's also a whole range of academic copyright issues. What if the content from the notes starts getting used in assignments? You're not supposed to write anything really without being able to reference/source it...that includes information from lecture material.
