The Children’s Rights lawyer talked about a sport player who co-operated in a particular way.  He said he did this by walking south to pick up the ball that his friend had left on the ground.  First, he recorded his position when he started walking.  Then, he recorded his position when he picked up the ball.  Then, he calculated the distance he walked by subtracting the y co-ordinate of his ending position from the y co-ordinate of his starting position.  In this way, he talked about a sport player who co-operated by walking south to pick up the ball that his friend had left on the ground.

The Chinese Language and Studies lecturer verified that her students would be amply prepared for the semester.  She did this by testing that the character practice book was on the book list.  She counted the number of lines of all the books required.  Then, she counted the number of lines of the list containing the character practice book.  Then, she tested that the number of lines of all the books required was equal to the number of lines of the list containing the character practice book.  In this way, she verified that her students would be amply prepared for the semester by testing that the character practice book was on the book list.

The Music Therapist computed a student could perform an action a number of times.  He did this by counting the number of times the algorithm she was following looped when she was hopping.  He identified the action name, “hop” in her algorithm.  Then, he identified that action name being repeated after the previous instance of the action name, indicating a loop.  Then, he identified the number of times the algorithm looped by reading the value after the first instance of the action name.  In this way, he computed a student could perform an action a number of times by counting the number of times the algorithm she was following looped when she was hopping.

The cinematologist computed whether there would be enough ceiling space for the equipment needed on the film set.  He did this by testing whether there was enough space for the lights hanging from the ceiling that were pointing at the props that were on stage.  He wrote down the 2D co-ordinates parallel to the ceiling of the bottom-left and top-right corners of the first light, the co-ordinates of the corners of the other lights its corner’s co-ordinates will be compared with.  Then, he tested that if either the x values of the second light’s left point and right points were greater than the first light’s left point and less than the first light’s right point, and either the y values of the second light’s bottom point and top points were greater than the first light’s bottom point and less than the first light’s top point, then the program would fail.  In this way, he computed whether there would be enough ceiling space for the equipment needed on the film set by testing whether there was enough space for the lights hanging from the ceiling.

The Content Manager tested that he had enough desk space to write a letter.  He did this by testing that there was enough room for his hand to move left and right when writing it.  He first wrote that his right shoulder represented the co-ordinates (0, 0).  He wrote that the point 0.4 metres in front of his shoulder, (0, 0.4) represented a point on the right side of the paper.  He also wrote that the point 0.4 metres in front of his shoulder and 0.4 metres to the left of his shoulder (-0.4, 0.4) represented a point on the left side of the paper.  In this way, he tested that he had enough desk space to write by testing that there was enough room for his hand to move left and right when writing it.
