One year, at Western University, there were these two guys
who were taking chemistry and who did pretty well on all of
the quizzes and the midterms and labs, such that going into
the final they had a solid A.
These two friends were so confident going into the final
that the weekend before finals week (even though the chem
final was on Monday), they decided to go over to Toronto
and party with some friends there during the Vanier Cup
weekend. So they did this and had a great time.
However, with their partying and everything, they overslept
all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Western until
early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then,
what they did was to find their professor after the final
and explain to him why they missed the final. They told
him that they went up to Toronto for the weekend, and had
planned to come back in time to study, but that they had a
flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare and
couldn't get help for a long time and so were late getting
back to campus.
The professor thought this over and then agreed that they
could make up the final on the following day. The two guys
were elated and relieved. So, they studied that night and
went in the next day at the time that the prof had told
them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of
them a test booklet and told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem, which was something
simple about molarity and solutions and was worth 5 points.
"Cool" they thought, "this is going to be easy."
They did that problem and then turned the page. They were
unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page.
It said: (95 points) Which tire?
