text: what would your answer be? a college professor had a very simple test for his students, it was a one question quiz and that question was:  why?  as he observed his students he could see them racking their brains to figure out the answer. many of then kept scribbling out what they had previosly written searching for the right answer. then one student got up after a couple of minutes turned in his paper and left. while other students spent the entire class answering this one question, he was the only one to get an "a" on his paper.  1. what do you think that students answer was? 2. why do you feel the professor gave such a quiz? i hope the student answered "why not?"  and to see if his students were capable of making decisions beased on their instinct instead of trying to rack their brains to please others  (i answered on instinct .....)
