Tell The Truth

Today I paid a visit to the college I graduated from to attend a Job Fair. Very interesting and I saw a few people I knew. After arriving home I decided to work on cleaning out my e-mail and this is one I wanted to save. I received this from a cousin of mine and it brought back what a Professor had stated in one of my classes. This is funny to me, but to many it may not be.

At Duke 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 Duke 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 Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet.
They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought!
Each one in separate rooms, thinking this was going to be easy.... then they
turned the page. On the second page was written....

For 95 points: Which tire? _____
