1. Computer Science: Write a fifth-generation computer language. Using this language, write a computer program to finish the rest of this exam for you.
2. 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, Asia, America, and Africa. Be brief and concise, yet specific.
3. 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 17 minutes to find the problem and correct it before the reactor melts down.
4. 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 has been inspected. You have 15 minutes.
5. Public Speaking: Twenty-five hundred riot-crazed aboriginies are storming the classroom. Calm them. You may use any ancient language except Latin, Hebrew, or Greek.
6. 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.
7. Civil Engineering: This is a practical test of your design and building skills. With the boxes of toothpicks and glue present, create a platform that will support your weight when you and the platform are suspended over a vat of nitric acid.
8. Music: Write a full piano concerto. Orchestrate and perform it with a clarinet and drum. You will find a piano under your seat.
9. 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 referrences. It is not necessary to translate.
10. Chemistry: You must identify a poison sample which you will find on your 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 the incentive to find the correct answer.)
11. Sociology: Estimate the sociological problems which might be associated with the end of the world. Construct an experiment to test your theory.
