Student A: OK, let's try question 1. Which two happened in the same year? The Eiffel Tower, contact lenses, or Nintendo.

Student B: I'm not really sure, but I think the Eiffel Tower (A) and Nintendo (C) might be from a similar time. Contact lenses (B) sound more modern.

Student A: Let's check... (Checks Ex. 5) Wow. You won't believe this, but all three (A, B, and C) happened in the same year, 1889!

Student B: You're joking! That just isn't possible. Contact lenses in 1889? No way!

Student A: Are you serious? That's what it says!

Student B: OK, my turn. Question 4. How thick is paper folded 42 times? (A) 2 metres, (B) as tall as a house, (C) enough to reach the moon.

Student A: It must be (B) as tall as a house. (C) is impossible.

Student B: (Checks Ex. 5) It's (C)! Enough to reach the moon.

Student A: I find that hard to believe. Are you sure? That's amazing.
