Your task is to cut out a doormat that is partially covered by a new
wall in the entrance to a shopping centre. You decide to use the angle
grinder, the 110V transformer and the 230V extension lead. However after
plugging the extension lead into one of the sockets in a shop when you
come to use the angle grinder you have a power problem. Using the
knowledge you have picked up in the last 15 months you quickly and
correctly identify the 230V extension lead is at fault.

So do you?

a) Plug the 110V transformer into to the socket in the shop and then use
the 110V extension lead to power the angle grinder

b) Examine the plug connections and the fuse on the 230V extension lead
and then using the knowledge and skills you you have picked up over the
last 15 months fix the faulty extension lead

c) Plug the transformer into the socket that is right next to the
doormat and complete the job without using any extension leads.

d) Walk aimlessly around the shopping centre for 30 minutes searching
for me whilst carrying the faulty extension lead with you. And don't
even think about winding up the lead before walking around the shops
looking for me - you need to drag 10m of trailing flex behind you.






I'd go for b first, then d, and if I could find you, I would try c as a
last resort, lol
