Chemistry Humor
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 University of Virginia and party with some friends up 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 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 5 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?
