Five minutes into the lecture, a
student slinked into the back of the hall. He quickly found his friends
and sat down by them.
“Dude!” one of them whispered.
“Where have you been?”
“Needed a way to get out of this
test,” the latecomer replied. “I had this guy for physics my
freshman year; this'll be a piece of cake.” He opened his bag and
started fishing something out.
“It better be; I didn't get a chance
to study.”
“Keep your pants on...just give me
two minutes.”
Meanwhile, Professor Reventlov was
working at the chalkboard, with no idea what the student had planned.
“...if it acts on a state, whatever the state happens to be at
time: t-equals zero...then it will give you psi at time: t.”
The late student stood up, ready to
spring his plan into action. “Professor?” he asked.
“Yes?” The teacher turned away from
the chalkboard to address the speaker...only to find one of the
students holding up a large piece of construction paper, with the
words “IGNORE THIS SIGN” written on it.
Professor Reventlov scowled. “Very
funny, Mr. Parsons, but that particular flaw was addressed over the
summer. Give me any paradox you like; you still have a test to take.”
