Ive heard this joke many times, but mabye some of you haven't.
Tough Final
This past fall semester, at Yale University, there were two
sophomores who were taking Organic Chemistry and who did pretty
well on all of the quizzes and the midterms and labs, etc., 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 up to Harvard and party with some friends up there.
So they did this and had a great time.
However, with their hangovers and everything, they overslept all
day Sunday and didn't make it back to New Haven until early Monday
morning. Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to
find the professor after the final and explain to him why they
missed the final. They told him that they went up to Cambridge 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 prof 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
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?'
