[CST-2] GOOD LUCK & BET

[William R Sowerbutts]

No, AI will be:

"(a) For each of the following common everyday objects, explain their
construction and operation in tremendous detail:

 (i)   drainpipe
 (ii)  bacon
 (iii) airport (be sure to specify substances from which aircraft are not
                constructed, such as grass, tarmac, etcetera)

(b) Draw a semantic net representing part (a) of this question. Be sure to use
random labels on your edges, and to use the same notation to mean at least
three different things in the same diagram".

Ho hum.
