Part 4 of this test is the best story in the whole set, and we saved it for last. For two centuries the greatest technical problem in the world was knowing where you were at sea. A carpenter with no scientific training solved it — and the board judging the prize was dominated by astronomers whose own method he had beaten. He was paid in stages, and received the rest only in his late seventies after the king intervened.

The students spend the section working out how to observe visitors without changing the behaviour they came to measure, which turns out to be the whole difficulty.
Four parts, 40 questions. Booking a guided walking holiday; a community theatre explaining what membership actually involves; two students designing an observation study of museum visitors; and a lecture on how the longitude problem was solved and who was denied the credit.
