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

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.
