Some good comments from same TODAYonline site [link]:

My own conclusion:
Perhaps if the lecturers thought on their feet, they could have still conducted the same exam, 'Miracleman' seems to have a good and workable suggestion to the conundrum.
Guess these bankers are still partying on the too big to fail bank [wiki] phenomenon and perhaps lying in wait for yet another government big bank bailout [wiki].
Some bankers should really learn to be more focused to the progress of society rather then being obsessed with making money by hook or by crook through multiple twisted and dishonest methods (esp the Wall St ones!).

| Miracleman Updated 02:30 PM October 04, 2011 Problem: Number of Students: 725 Number of Scripts to be printed: 750 Number of Scripts available: 550 (200 short) If 5 Loaves and 2 Fishes can feed 5,000 [John 6:1-15, link] then NUS also can! Solution: 1. Divide 400 scripts to Section A & Section B 2. Divide give students into Group 1 & Group 2 3. Give Section A to Group 1 and Section B to Group 2 4. After half time, Group 1 and Group 2 swap their Scripts 5. Wow! a Miracle has happened, we only used 400 scripts and still have 150 to spare. 6. To compensate for the error, can give students 10 extra minutes. Everybody will be happy! Think out of the BOX. Wiseman Updated 03:05 PM October 04, 2011 The other day, I attended a dinner for 7 people. After all the hard work and intensive preparation when we were about to dig into the food, we found that we were short of 2 plates. So, the host told us, "very sorry", because we were short of 2 plates, we had to cancel the entire dinner. All of us were asked to leave. We left, feeling hungry and angry. We were told it was a human error. But we beg to differ, there were 2 human errors. The first was the missing 2 plates BUT the Greater error was asking everyone to leave! |
