This is absolutely brilliant. I won't say anything else, see for yourself.

The World's Toughest Exam
At Georgia Tech (we've also heard this from Duke), there were four sophomores taking Organic Chemistry. They did so well on all the quizzes, the mid-terms and labs, etc. that each had an "A" so far for the semester. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before the finals, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friends there.
They had a great time; however, after all the partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to GA Tech until Monday morning. Rather than take the final then, they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed the exam. They explained that they had gone to UVA for the weekend with the plan to come back that evening 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 five points, something simple like 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?

You see, if they were really smart, they would've thought ahead of time and decided together which tire was flat. :P
They'd have a 1/256 chane of picking the same tire though. Pretty clever.

Front right always sounds good to me.
Or back left. One of the two.
