"Four students from Los Angeles drove up to
Santa Barbara for the weekend. UCSB lived up to reputation with the best
bars and campus parties. The students had such a wild time, they didn’t
leave any time to study for their Monday exam in organic chemistry.
They devised a story to tell their professor about how they travelled to
UCSB to conduct research and study, but ended
up with a flat tire on their way back to LA. They promised to take the
test on Tuesday morning, first thing. The professor agreed. After
studying all day Monday, the students arrived to class Tuesday fully
prepared for their exam.
She placed them in separate rooms and
handed each of them an exam (which was out of 100 points) 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 tire?"
