There were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry. They were doing
so well on all the quizzes, midterms and labs, etc. Each had an "A" so
far for the semester. The four friends were so confident that the
weekend before finals, they decided to drive up to the University of
Virginia and party with some friends there.
They had a great time, but after all the hearty partying, they slept
all day Sunday and didn't make it back to school until early Monday
morning.
Rather than taking the final then, they decided to find their professor
after the final and explain to him why they missed it. They told him
they had gone to UVA for the weekend and planned to come back in time
to study, but, unfortunately had a flat tire on the way back, didn't have a
spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they
missed the final. The professor thought it over and then agreed they could
make up
the final the following day. The guys were elated and relieved.
They studied that night and went in the next day at the time the
professor had told them.
He placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet
and told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem, worth 5 points. It was something
simple about free radical formation. Cool, they thought! Each one, in
his separate room, thought the exam was going to be easy. After
finishing the first problem they turned the page. On the second page
was written:
For 95 points:
Which tire? :>)
Party Hearty
