==Summary==
==Synopsis==

==Plot==
==Plot==
In the introduction, Brain shows Arthur a rather simple comic about a mean cat pranking a dog. Arthur is surprised that Brain finds it so funny. Arthur mentions how people you know can still surprise you. He gives an example of Mr. Ratburn having class outside on a summer's day, though he still gives the class a pop quiz. The biggest surprise was Binky.

'''Binky's ‘A’ Game'''
==Characters==
 
Mr. Ratburn announces a test on Galileo the next day. Binky enjoys himself until after dinner, when his mom makes him start doing his homework. He is reluctant, but gets hooked when he reads that Galileo loved music. He stays up late reading his history book.
 
The next morning, Binky's chair breaks, so he has to sit next to Brain. After the test, Francine and Muffy complain about how hard it was. Binky effortlessly names the four Galilean moons of Jupiter (one of the questions), but Muffy thinks he just used the names of professional wrestlers. When Mr. Ratburn returns the tests, however, Binky has received an A, much to his surprise.


Later in the Sugar Bowl, Francine and Muffy tell Arthur and Buster that Binky deliberately broke his chair so that he could copy from Brain. Buster instead suggests that Binky invented a brain-enhancing smoothie. Arthur defends Binky and Buster decides to investigate.

*[[Alan Powers|The Brain]]
* [[Arthur Read]]
* [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]]
* [[Francine Frensky]]
* [[Muffy Crosswire]]

Buster dresses as a detective and confronts Binky, but he just makes him angry. Binky in turn confronts Muffy, but she points out how bad he usually does on tests and does not believe him.
=== Cameo ===
 
* [[Molly MacDonald]]
Binky tells Brain his sorrows in the ice-cream shop. Brain tells him that it is only Muffy and Francine and that it is because of his image.
* [[Rattles]]
 
* [[Slink]]
The next day, Binky comes to school wearing posh clothes, but Francine is not fooled, especially after Binky flunks the next test. Arthur suggests getting an A on the upcoming science test by studying.
* [[Mei Lin Barnes]]
 
* [[Sue Ellen|Sue Ellen Armstrong]]
Binky finds the topic hard. A shoulder devil suggests he should make cheat sheets, so he spends the evening doing that. He throws them away before the test, however.
* [[George Lundgren]]
 
* [[Fern Walters]]
That afternoon, Binky tells Brain about the cheat sheets. Brain tells him that copying information is a good way to memorize it and indeed, the next day, Binky finds that he received an A-. He shows it to Francine and Muffy, who apologize and admit that he is smarter than they gave him credit for.
