| 12. Which of these countries is not on the equator? | | A. Kenya | B. Ecuador
| C. Chile | D. Indonesia
| He doesn't look to positive on this one, so he'll phone his friend Scott. Here's the transcript after all the fluff:
David: "You got 10 seconds." Scott: "Um... Chile, maybe? That's a guess, though. Sorry." David: "OK. It's just a guess?" Scott: "Yeah, it's kind of a guess. Sorry." David: "OK."(Burp burp)  Scott is also a professor in Maryland. In other words, two professors are struggling on this question. David knows B is wrong, but isn't sure about the other three. Scott's endorsement of C was hardly a strong one, so David will play it safe and pass.
If David had gone along with his friend...
He would've been right. C. Chile was the correct answer. | ||||||||||
