ANSWER!!!

Getting Much Smarter

.


Three UNC grads are relaxing and fishing.
Out of the blue, they catch a mermaid who
begs to be set free in return for granting
each of them a wish. Now one of the guys
just doesn't believe it, and says:

"OK, if you can really grant wishes, then
double my I.Q." The mermaid says: "Done."

Suddenly, the guy starts reciting Shakespeare
flawlessly and analyzing it with extreme insight.
The second guy is so amazed he says to the
mermaid: "Triple my I.Q." The mermaid says:
"Done."

The guy starts to spout out all the mathematical
solutions to problems that have been stumping
all the scientists of varying fields: physics,
chemistry, etc.

The last guy is so enthralled with the changes
in his friends, that he says to the mermaid:
"Quintuple my I.Q." The mermaid looks at
him and says: "You know, I normally don't
try to change people's minds when they make
a wish, but I really wish you'd reconsider."

The guy says: "Nope, I want you to increase
my I.Q. times five, and if you don't do it, I won't
set you free."

"Please," says the mermaid "You don't know
what you're asking...it'll change your entire
view on the universe... won't you ask for
something else...a million dollars, anything?"
But no matter what the mermaid said, the guy
insisted on having his I.Q. increased by five
times it's usual power. So the mermaid sighed
and said: "Done."

And he became a N.C.State graduate.
