It's Friday afternoon and six fraternity brothers at UNC havejust attended their last class of the semester. To unwind beforethe final exam Monday morning, they decide to spend the weekend atthe beach. After a weekend of immature, irresponsible behavior, they oversleep Monday morning and miss the final exam. Later thatday they go to their professor (who received her Ph. D. from NCState) and explain that they went to the beach and were on the wayback for the final exam but their car (a BMW of course) had a flattire. The professor says that they can come back the next morningand she will give them a make-up final exam consisting of oneshort-answer question! The students are ecstatic and high-five eachother all the way back to the frat house. The next morning theprofessor puts each student in a different room and hands themtheir one-question test.
