Simple logic is in the wording.
The teacher told the student that the plane that the student had made needed to fly past a line. The teacher never said anything about what condition the plane needed to be in order to pass the line or the challenge he had given the student just that he had three chances to get it past the line. The teacher never said the plane needed to aero-dynamicaly fly past the line. (Does a meteor not fly through space?) I too would have rolled the plane in a ball and flew it over the line on the first try. That was the first thing that came into my head when I read Cerek's Post! I would have never even used the first two chances. I swear to god or what ever god you all believe in that this is what my first thought was, roll it up into a ball and through the ball and let it fly over the line. Why do you think that in baseball when someone hits the ball over the fence it's called a "fly" ball!

I have one. You may ask questions to get more details, but they must be answerable with either an answer of yes, no, or irrelevant. Ready? Here we go.
A woman was writing a letter in her cabin when she died. What happened to her?

Logic, fuzzy or otherwise is at play here. I must leave.
One quick question though? Are teachers still allowed to paddle? Or, was this like 30 years ago when we all got paddled?

The idea is to figure out *how* she died.

Anyways. Here are some questions for ya: - any evidence of structural collapse or the cabin (ie: did the cabin collapse on her causing her death?) - any indication of poisonous gases or hazardous substances? - any signs of a struggle? - any clues as to potential enemies or people interested in her death in the letter she was writing? - are there any indications that she may have died of 'natural' causes? Ie heart attack, stroke, food poisoning etc?

If she didn't die of natural causes (heart attack or stroke) and hadn't left the gas stove on (flooding the cabin with noxious fumes), I'm guessing that something fell onto (or through) the cabin and landed on her. My first guess would be a tree fell on the cabin. My second guess would be the meteor mentioned by Crimson Blade.

But people are right: the challenge was to get the current plane across the line and it was not specified what condition it had to be in.

If were thinking *outside* the box then perhaps its possible she didn't actually die but perhaps the letter was a faked certificate of death. Its a long shot but it might just be right... P.s do certificates of death actually exsist? [img]smile.gif[/img]
