Two friends were so confident going into their University of Washington final that the weekend before finals (even though the Chemistry final was on Monday), they decided to go up to the University of British Columbia (UBC) and party with some friends up there.
So they did this and had a great time. However, with their hangovers and everything, they slept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to UW until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to find Professor Murdoch after the final and explain to him why they missed the final.
They told him that they went up to UBC 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 makeup 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 Professor Murdoch 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 free radical formation 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?”
