Here is a little known fact: to get your mage's medallion, you have to pass a written test.
Sandry, Tris, Briar and Daja had all studied really hard for this test. The night before the exam, they chose to go to a party held in Summersea.
They left Winding Circle, with permission, caught a ride on a cart, and went to the party. Then they broke a very important rule that had been laid down before them, and which they had promised not to break if they went to the party. They drunk alcohol, and woke up the next day with severe hangovers.
To return to Winding Circle, they were forced to hitchhike, due to their cover story.
When they reached Winding Circle, they told the examiners that their cart had lost a wheel, and they had had to walk home.
The examiner forgave them, and allowed them to do their tests the next day.
So, the next day, the four were placed in separate rooms with the test paper.
On the first page was a set of question worth 5% of the marks. The four answered them with ease.
Feeling confident, they turned the page.
On the next page was written…
For 95% of the overall marks: Which wheel? _________
*****
Now I'm assuming that the examiners have set up a system where they can tell if the four are cheating via mind communication.
I was forwarded this joke in an email.
As always, review peoples! If you don't, I'll, I'll…just review ok?
