At a certain Australian University, there were four students studying
accounting majoring in Taxation. They did so well on all the essay,
tests and tutorials, that each had a High Distinction average so far for
the semester. These four friends were so confident that the weekend
before their exam, they decided to go to Fremantle and rage with some
friends there.
They had an enormous time. However, after all the hard partying they
slept all day Sunday, and in the end, they didn't make it back to their
university until early Monday morning.... the morning of their final
exam. Rather than risk taking the final exam with a hangover, they
decided to find their lecturer after the exam and devise a plausible
explanation as to why they missed it. They told her that they had gone to
Fremantle for the weekend to do some psychology research at the renowned
night spots there, with the plan to come back in time to study for the
exam itself. Unfortunately, they'd had a flat tyre on the way back and did
not own a spare, such was their poverty.
As a result, they'd stood around staring ruefully at the tyre until the Road
service arrived. The delay was so extended that they'd only this moment
arrived back!
The lecturer requested time to think this over, and eventually agreed that
they could sit their final exam the following day. The four were
elated, relieved, and a little amused at the gullibility of their
lecturer.
They studied hard that night - all night, in fact - and went in the
next day at the time the lecturer had indicated. She placed them in
separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to
begin.
The first short answer problem was assigned five marks. It was a simple
question about the definition of income. "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 marks): Which tyre????
