Teacher Simon is always early in class. He notices that many students always
come to class late. So he started thinking..Why do M/4 students come late to
class? His hypothesis was that, if M1/4 students travel long distances to come to
school, then they will come late to class. He diveded the class into two groups.
Group A will come from Chokchai and group B from Hua Thale. The next day,
he noticed that group A from chokchai were early in class and group B from
Hua Thale were late. When group B came to class, he asked them why they
were late. It was because they got up late and always think since they are closer
to school, they can sleep late.
