Cheap Motorcycle. Tony, a hateful, disgruntled business law professor, notices that Peter, a student who is past the age of majority, has bought a new motorcycle. Peter has struggled through school, is in his last semester, and needs to pass business law in order to graduate. Tony tells Peter that he would like to see Peter pass, and in the next sentence, Tony says that he wants to buy the motorcycle for $100, a price far below the value of the motorcycle. Peter asks if Tony is serious about the price, and Tony replies, "I have the power here!" Tony proceeds to draw up a contract for the sale of the motorcycle for $100 with lots of fine print by which he can sue Peter and recover any maintenance costs for the next five years. Seeing that he is at an advantage, Tony also throws into the deal that Peter will mow Tony's one-acre yard for $5 all summer long. After Tony tells Peter to either take the contract or leave it, Tony reluctantly signs. Which of the following is an appropriate term for the contract drawn up by Tony?
A) AdhesionB) Implied-in-lawC) IllusoryD) In pari delictoE) Exculpatory

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
