Using this language, write a computer program to finish the rest of this exam for you. History: Describe the history of the papacy from its originas to the present day, concentrating on its social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical impact on Europe, America, Asia, and Africa. Be brief and concise, yet specific. Electrical Engineering: You will be placed in a nuclear reactor and given a partial copy of the electrical layout. The electrical system has been tampered with. You have seventeen minutes to find the problem and correct it before the reactor melts down. Pre-Med: You will be provided with a rusty razor blade, a piece of gauze, and a full bottle of Scotch. Remove your appendix. Don't suture until your work as been inspected. You have 15 minutes. Public Speaking: Twenty-five hundred riot-crazed aboriginies are storming the classroom. Calm them. You may use any ancient language except Latrin, Hebrew, or Greek. Biology: Create life. Estimate the differences in subsequent human culture if this life form had developed 500,000 years earlier, with special attention to the probably effect, if any, on the English parliamentary system circa 1750. Prove your thesis. Civil Engineering: This is a practical test of your design and building skills. With the boxes of toothpicks and glue present, build a platform that will wupport your weight when you and your platform are suspended over a vat of nitric acid. Music: Write a full piano concerto. Orchestrate and perform it with a clarinet and drum. You will find a piano under your seat. Psychology: Based on your knowledge of their early works, evaluate the emotional stability, degree of adjustment, and repressed frustrations of each of the following: Alexander of Aphrodisias, Ramses II, and Gregory of Nicea. Support your evaluation with quotations from each man's work, making appropriate references. It is not necessary to translate. Chemistry: You must identify a poison sample which you will find at your lab table. All necessary equipment has been provided. There are two beakers at your desk, one of which holds the antidote. If the wrong substance is used, it causes instant death. You may begin as soon as the professor injects you with a sample of the poison. (We feel this will give you an incentive to find the correct answer.) Sociology: Estimate the sociological problems which might be associated with the end of the world. Construct an experiment to test your theory. Mechanical Engineering: The disassembled parts of a howitzer have been placed in a box on your desk.

Creativity will be judged. Art: Given one eight-count box of crayons and three sheets of notebook paper, recreate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Skin tones should be true to life.

The key of such recipes is to use some fresh ingredients along with the can. Ingredients: [1] Si4 xian1 kao3 fu1: 1 can. You can easily find this can in Chinese grocery stores. Sometimes, the English name is "assorted vegetables with quail eggs" (doesn't help much, does it?). The so called four fresh (si4 xian1) are: fried gluten, bamboo shoots, quail eggs and straw-mushroom. What is missing in such canned food is meat! [2] Pork: 4 oz. [3] Soy sauce, sugar. Procedure: [a] Clean and cut the pork into small chunks of bite size. marinate it in soy sauce and a tea spoon of sugar for 20 minutes. [b] Heat up a wok with 4 tea spoons of cooking oil. Stir fry the pork chunks for 2 minutes or until the color turns to brown. [c] Pour the contents in the can into the wok, stir it a little bit so that all ingredients are blended well. Add two cups of water. [d] When it is boiling again, turn the heat into medium, just enough to keep it boiling. Cover it up and let it simmer for 30 minutes. [f] When it is almost done, turn on full heat and keep it boiling until the juice is reduced to half of what it used to be. Stir it from time to time to avoid burning on the bottom. Then a delicious dish is done. You may serve it as a stand-alone dish or serve it over the rice. It is good for lunch box too. With this experience, you might have better idea of what you might be able to do with similar canned food. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (7) Editorial Weekly Most of us are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be. -- Abraham Lincoln *********************************(END)**************************************** Edited by Jie Yin: jieyin@midway.uchicago.edu (702-6016) http://ccp.uchicago.edu/~jyin Technique support by Paul Pomerleau: pom2@ccp.uchicago.edu (702-4830) To subscribe or unsubscribe: jyin@ccp.uchicago.edu To post and/or comment: cssa@ccp.uchicago.edu To visit CSSA at UC homepage: http://www.cs.uchicago.edu/~yz11/CSSA ******************************************************************************
