If he can't read set him up with some tutoring time with a good looking girl about his own age.
When he is done and you have three nice flat plates you give him three rough blocks and tell him to scrape one surface on each block flat. Let him decide to use the three surface method or one of the reference surfaces he just finished.
When he is done with that tell him to scrape a second surface on each block using the three surface method but when checking them against each other the surfaces he just finished are to be resting on one of the flat plates from step one.
If he does not walk out or run off with the girl, you will have three surface plates, and three 90° reference angles and one good worker who is not easily distracted. |
I'm not sure I have that much time left on Earth. LOL
Did you get the Plates or the Girl?
Nice link.
