One night Jack1 Evans, along with his 3 university friends went out drinkinig till late night, as many college students are prone2 to do, and didn't study for their test, which, of course, was scheduled for the next day.
 
In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty and weird3 as they could with grease and dirt.
 
They went up to the dean and explained that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tire of their car burst. They continued to explain how they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.
 
The dean, being a compassionate4 human being said that they could take the test after 3 days. The students graciously replied that they'd be ready by that time.
 
On the third day, they appeared before the dean. The dean explained that since this was a special test all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the duration of the exam.
 
They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last three days. The test consisted of 5 questions with total of 100 points:
 
 MID SEMESTER COURSEWORK EXAMINATION
 
INSTRUCTIONS :
 All questions are required. Any inconsistencies on any of the questions among the four students will result in all the candidates getting a zero mark.
 
Q.1. Write down your name. ----- (2 POINTS)
 Q.2. Write the name of the bride and bridegroom at the wedding you attended. ----- (30 POINTS)
 Q.3. What type of a car were you driving? ------(20 POINTS)
