*"It is 1 O Clock, with no parallex error. You may begin."

The owner of that scratchy voice, a teacher, gave herself a smile, after repeating a joke that was not even a milimeter near funny.

The students would have moaned at hearing such a stupid and lame joke, however, many could not be bothered, their eyes staring hard onto the booklet in front of them, many with a pencil or pen in hand, some, already writing answers.

Physics Paper 3.

Every single person wearing that rather tasteless green uniform was working hard on the first question of the paper.

Among them, the bird.

Falcon.

1a(i) State the Principle of conservation of momentum.
1a(ii) State the principal of moment.


"Ha, easy.", said the one who spent a little over an hour ramming through the entire Syllabus.

And that was roughly the longest he had spent on physics the entire holiday.

"If I knew it was that easy, I sho-" Falcon smiled to himself, as he scanned the questions below.

A rude shock awaited him.

1b(i) Εξηγήστε γιατί ο δρόμος ασκεί μια δύναμη στη ρόδα ως περιστροφές ροδών και δηλώστε την κατεύθυνση της δύναμης.

1c De auto, van massa 900kg, wordt gebruikt in een testexperiment om in een stationaire vrachtwagen drie keer de massa van de auto direcly dicht te slaan. De auto en de vrachtwagen voegen samen en bewegen samen van. Verklaar waarom het principe van behoud van impuls op de botsing van toepassing is


"Holy ****ing piece of ****ing ****!" Falcon almost swore aloud, as the words ceased to make sense to him. He thought that the teacher had given him something which was probably for the language school, as he tried to make some sense of the writing. However, on closer inspection, it's obviously English.

Except, it's in physics English.

A very very tough physics English....

"****" Falcon swore one last time, as he flipped through the paper.

2b(i) Dérivez comment la période de l'orbite d'un satellite est liée au rayon de son orbite.

4a Geben Sie die Bedingungen für das Herstellen einer gut definierten stationären Welle mit zwei seperate Quellen an.

6a Explain why light of specific wavelenths is produced in the gas discharged lamp


BANZAI! Finally. Civilisation! Houston, we have contact! It was like being one of the sole survivor of a plane which crashed into some remote island, living there for 2 weeks, before help came.

But still, 4 out of 6 questions in other different languages isn't going to help Falcon. Especially, when you have to choose 4 questions.

Thank god, it's only 4 questions. If Falcon had to complete the paper, he would have probably just walked out, not wanting to waste the marker's time, as well as his time.

By the time the paper ended, Falcon was in a bad mood. So bad, he has ceased to care that he's pissed about the paper, preparing for Thursday's Chem 2.

After all, he didn't study for physics.

"Oh well. There's always paper 1 and 2." Falcon told himself, in a failed attempt to boost his spirits.

Let's just hope it won't be all in Latin this time.
