Two law students are spending their Friday night studying for their big Constitutional Law exam on Monday morning. They studied from 6:00PM to 8:30PM, when they decide to take a break.
They walk down to the nearest bar and have a drink. While there, the two meet a group of girls who invite them to a party.
The law students figure they will have time over the weekend to study, so they go to the party with the girls. They stay up all night partying and sleep all day Saturday.
Before they have a chance to get back home to spend their Sunday studying, the girls invite them to another party. The girls make a convincing argument, and the two law students decide to go to the next party.
On Monday morning, their heads are pounding. They can't make it out of bed in time for the exam. They wake up Monday afternoon and hurry to the Professor's office to beg for a makeup test.
They tell the Professor they were on their way to class when their car got a flat tire. They plead their case and eventually, the Professor agrees to give them a makeup exam. The two law students share a devious grin, knowing they had duped the Professor. The Professor puts the two students in separate rooms and administers the makeup exam, which has only two questions:
1. Explain the significance of habeus corpus in contemporary U.S. law. (Value - 5%)
2. Which tire? (Value - 95%)
