For anyone who ever tried or thought about cheating in
an exam.......
At Sydney University, there were four students taking Organic Chemistry.
They did so well on all the quizzes, midterms and labs, etc., that each
had an "A" so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident
with the finals approaching that the weekend before, they decided to go
down to Canberra and party with some friends there. They had a great time.
However, after all the hard partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't
make it back to Sydney until early Monday morning - the morning of their
final exam!
Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor
AFTER the exam and explain to him why they missed it. They explained that
they had gone to Canberra to do some research in the ANU archives for
the weekend with the plan to come back in time to study, but, unfortunately,
they had a flat tyre, on the way back, didn't have a spare, and couldn't
get help for a long time. As a result, they only just arrived now! The
professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up their final
exam the following day. The guys were elated and relieved. They studied
hard that night - all night - and went in the next day at the time the
professor had> told them.
He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet,
and told them to begin. The first problem was worth five points. It was
something simple about free radical formation. "Cool," they all thought
in their separate rooms, "this is going to be easy." Each finished the
problem and then turned the page.
Question 2 (for 95 points): Which tyre?
