The lab class today will be held outside as they needed to gather samples of rocks. They will be grouped in 2's and write an analysis.
Kevin was the first to get on board the school bus. As he saw Amy come in, he called her and asked to sit beside him. Edmond boarded the bus late and saw that Amy was already seated beside Kevin. Seeing this as not a good sign, he went to the professor and whispered on his ear. The professor stood up and made an announcement inside the bus:
"To avoid confusion in selecting your lab partner, you will be paired alphabetically according to your last names."
Amy and Edmond shared the same last names "Park" while Kevin is Oh. For obvious reasons, Amy and Edmond ended up as lab partners.
Edmond smiled but still not yet satisfied. He whispered some more to the professor. The professor added:
"The lab partners should sit beside each other during the ride so they can start discussing their analysis."
