an experiment

during the lesson, the other day, the question was what you would use if you didn't have pliers. my student was talking about using pliers to help with connecting two wires through a domino (i believe that's the name - any DIYer out there, feel free to tell me if i'm wrong). i suggested using chopsticks, which he said was impossible. i couldn't see why. so he said he'd bring the stuff for me to try.

and so today, true to his word, he came with a domino, a screwdriver (to screw the wires in place - although he hadn't actually brought wires) and a pair of chopsticks. it was hilarious, but i managed to do it. there's even a picture of that now, probably floating on the internet...
