Tоrts 1 - Midterm Exаm Fаll 2026 It wаs a beautiful fall day at the Oktоberfest оn Mount Fairview. For those who may not be familiar, Oktoberfest is an annual German cultural celebration where people gather to enjoy the first of the brewed beer from the previous summer. Oktoberfest traditionally takes place on the side of a mountain and always involves music, dancing, competition, and lots of drinking. This year at Mount Fairview, nearly two thousand people were enjoying the music, dancing, food, and, of course, the beer. At around four o’clock in the afternoon, participants were invited to compete in traditional wood chopping and stacking contests. Each competitor dressed in traditional German clothing, including a feathered cap provided by the event organizers, and were asked to split logs with a sharp ax, load the split wood into a wheelbarrow, push the wheelbarrow across the grass, and stack the wood neatly until it reached a certain height. Oskar, Stefan, and Landon had competed against each other in this competition for several years running, and had developed a rivalry. The three were back this year, and ready to win. The airhorn went off to begin the competition, and each of the three contestants moved quickly to chop their wood, tossing the split logs into their wheelbarrows as they went. Landon threw one of his split logs in Oskar’s direction, intending to hit him and throw him off balance. Oskar saw the log coming his way and dodged. Oskar yelled insults at Landon, who felt humiliated in front of the crowd. Landon’s flying log had slowed Oskar down in the competition. Hoping to catch up, Oskar steered his wheelbarrow into Stefan’s wheelbarrow while they were both running across the field to stack their split wood. Oskar’s wheelbarrow toppled the load of split wood in Stefan’s wheelbarrow, and Stefan tripped and fell. The wood that fell out of Stefan’s wheelbarrow rolled down the mountainside and struck Jackie, a bystander, who was hurt and required medical attention. Oskar claimed he was drunk during the competition and hadn’t meant to hurt anyone. Oskar finished first, but the event organizers disqualified Oskar from the competition and instead awarded the first place prize to Landon, who had finished second. The first place prize came with a $100 gift card for the local brewery. Frustrated, Oskar removed the feathered cap he had been wearing and threw it into the outdoor fireplace at the front of the event stage. Later that afternoon, in retaliation, Stefan shoved Oskar into a port-a-potty on the hillside and padlocked the door shut from the outside. Stefan then stole the first place gift card from Landon by picking his pocket. Discuss.
