Self-Operating Napkin

This Self-Operating Napkin works as follows:

First, the man lifts up his spoon to eat his soup; the spoon is connected with a cord.  When he lifts up the spoon, the cord is moved, occasioning that the cracker in the ladle is pulled upward then, the parrot moves to catch the bread, tilting the perch.  The perch has seeds in the other side so; the pail is filled with seeds, tilting another perch, moving the cord that it is connected with the automatic cigar lighter, lighting the automatic cigar lighter and fire the sky-rocket.  After that, the sky-rocket flies and sickle is moved, cutting the cord that holds the pendulum.  In the pendulum is the napkin.  When the cord is cut, the pendulum is release and the napkin will wipe off the man’s chin.

What if

1. If chinese were discovered the world before europeans, we would speak mandarin instead of spanish or english. Actually, mandarin would be the international language instead of english. I also think that they have a different culture that spanishs so maybe  all america would be one country. I also think that latin america would have less poor people because they would have developed really colonies through all america. Spanish only came to america to use the resources they did not develop any kind of economie there.
2. If two forms of highly intelligent life had evolved on earth, we would life in better condition.  These two forms of highly intelligent life would work together on Earth and they would put all their effort, intelligent and the best of them for better conditions, improving things that  do not have solution.
   I think that all the processes would be simples, the problems in the earth, illnesses and other things would be solved.  They would do different things to improve and ensure a better life for all.  They would use all their intelligent for it

Heading in Data Commentaries

Hi professor

Certainly, there is a different between the results of makeup exam and regular exam that different is about 14 point of Regular exam over the Makeup exam. However, as you can see in the table 16 there are three factor that can explain logically why it happens, which are date and hour , number of student , temperature of classroom.

First of all is date, the regular exam was administered on Wednesday and the makeup exam on Friday.  As student I can say that we have many responsibilities such as homework and exams every week. It could be really stressful. Even although It does not sound good , the most common strategy is work in them in a chronology way. That means the study for the test on Friday was maybe done Friday during the day. While the Wednesday test was study maybe on previous weekend.

Second is the number of the student, I think that could be the mainly reason . You can notice that on makeup exam only was applied to 25 students. While, the regular exam was applied to 125 students. That means that one or two bad grades can affect highly the average on makeup test.

Finally, The temperature in the classroom on Friday it was so hot arround 28 C. The students was complaining all the time about it , but I could not do anything to solve it .

 I think that different between the average on the two test is more that supported on these factors.
