Random Nice Things

My series of nice surprises is continuing. A friend of mine who I TA’d for at a University associated with this image

Sent me a random email about a fake test question I wrote for him in the 1990s. See to keep him on his toes and because he has such a wonderful and infectious laugh, we would slip in gag questions when we were making tests for the class.

Here is the one I snuck in and was rewarded with a shower of laughter:

Draw a map of Europe roughly to scale. (Be sure not to forget Luxembourg!) Use the techniques of origami to add a realistic topographical dimension. Describe which parts of the physical continent pose the greatest Freudian dilemmas for you. Use these insights to explain what peasant John the dumb-as-nails was thinking as he dressed on the morning of July 19th 1652. Bring in a pertinent but irrelevant statement about what women and minorities were doing that day as well. (And please none of that Annales school highbrow bs!).

Go ahead and submit your responses below, but make sure they are 3D or 4D.
