          Sociology of History: Describe the history of the papacy from its
          origin to the present day, concentrating especially but not
          exclusively, on its social, political, economic, religios, and

          brief, concise, and specific.

          Sociology of Medicine: You have been provided with a razor blade,
          a piece of gauze, and a bottle of scotch.  Remove your appendix.
          Do not suture until your work has been inspected.  You have
          fifteen minutes.

          Public Speaking: 2,500 riot-crazed aborigines are storming the
          classroom.  Calm them.  You may use any ancient language except
          Latin or Greek.

          Biology: Create life.  Estimate the differences in subsequent
          human structure if this form of life had developed 500 million
          years earlier, with special attention to its probable effect on
          the English parliamentary system.  Prove your thesis.

          Music: Write a symphony.  Orchestrate and perform it with a flute
          and drum.  You will be provided with a pitch pipe.

          Sociology: Estimate the sociological problems which might
          accompany the end of the world.  Construct an experiment to test
          your theory.

          Physics: Explain the nature of matter.  Include in your answer an
          evaluation of the impact of the development of mathematics on
          science.

          Psychology: Based on your knowledge of their works, evalute the
          stability degree of adjustment, and repressed frustrations of
          each of the following:  Alexander of Aphredisias, Gregory of
          Nicea, and Hammurabi.  Support your evaluation with quotations
          from each man's work, making appropriate references.  It is not
          necessary to translate.

          Engineering: The disassembled parts of a high-powered rifle have
          been placed in a box on your desk.  You will also find an
          instruction manual and a Swahili to Afgani dictionary for
          translation.  In ten minutes a hungry Bengal tiger will be
          admitted into the room.  Take whatever action you deem
          appropriate.  Be prepared to justify your decision.

          Political Sociology: There is a red telephone on the desk beside
          you.  Start World War III.  Report at length on any socio-
          political and/or economic effects this may have.

          Social Theory: Sketch the development of human thought; estimate
          its significance.  Compare it with the development of any other
          kind of thought.
