Rehearsal Test

I'm taking a test. Only, we were given the exact same set of questions as review only days ago. In fact, right now the proctors are going through and handing back our review worksheets, because the test is to be open-note. Incredulously, I open the test and the review worksheet both to the first page. Yep, exact same questions. Am I really meant to sit here for the next half hour copying over my previous answers? I call over a proctor to ask this question. In reply, she merely points out that I got some of the review questions wrong, so it won't be exact copying. Hmph.

I decide I may as well drive home before deciding what to do. I get in my white Pathfinder and head out. Due to road closures, I have to drive straight up a steep dirt road on my way home.

Later I return to the testing room. I open the review packet again, and this time I notice that the handwriting on the answers isn't my own. In fact, it seems like the handwriting changes with every new page! The graders must have split the packets for grading and then haphazardly stapled them together again, hopelessly mixing everything together. Affronted, I call over a proctor again.

Pictures App

I'm trying out a new app for party entertainment. Basically you just click a button and it collects from the Internet a bunch of funny, cool, or otherwise interesting pictures, for the group to look at, one at a time. The word "pictures" is slightly deceptive, because actually they're three-second videos that freeze on the last frame (the picture), so they have some context. The guy that made the app is asking for donations, because he spent a lot of time on it, making sure that each set of pictures has a unifying theme and that the pictures are the best ones available.

Contest

Someone's hosting a raffle. They want it to be a really big raffle, so there are a lot of different prizes, not just a couple really expensive ones. Also, there's one particular purchase you can make that as a bonus also gets you thirty raffle tickets. It's an interesting technique, I think.
