Default You are 2nd year apprentice - what would you do?

Well even a first year should be able to see that if there is a socket right
next to the job, you can finish it, and take the bits back to base and fix
it in the comfort of the workshop.

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.
