in the
following
case

John sat in the classroom and drew pictures of the Fighting

Warriors in his notebook while his teacher lectured about
biology or something. He didn't really know for sure. The
last thing he remembered her saying was that there would
be a test tomorrow. His heart jumped. He went home to
study for the test, but he was soon drawn to his Game Box.
He played Fighting Warriors long into the night. When his
alarm clock rang the next day, he was too tired to hit the
snooze button, so he let it beep for about 20 minutes
before he got up and went to school. As she had promised,
the teacher has prepared a test. She reviewed the testing
procedures and directions with the class and then passed
out the test. John looked at his test and scratched his
head...
