At
Duke University, there were four sophomores 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
that the weekend before finals, they decided to go up to the University
of Virginia and party with some friends there. They had a great time -
however, after all the hardy-partying, they
slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke 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 explained that they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan
to come back in time to study, but, unfortunately, they 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 and handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to
begin.
They looked at the first problem, worth five points. It was something simple about free radical formation.
"Cool," they thought at the same time, each one in his separate room,
"this is going to be easy." Each finished the problem and then turned
the page.
On the second page was written:
(For 95 points): Which tire?
I saw this on facebook and laughed. Sucks
