[John Wright]

At Penn State University , there were four sophomores taking chemistry
and all of them had an 'A' so far. These four friends were so confident
that, the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and
have a big party. They had a great time but, after all the hearty
partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Penn State
until early Monday morning.



Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they
would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they
visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire. As a result,
they missed the final. The professor agreed they could make up the final
the next day.. The guys were excited and relieved.. They studied that
night for the exam.

The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a
test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points.

For 95 points: Which tire? _________
