eeling that we had tested Trinity students' physical and psychological abilities to the fullest in our last two video expose, we sent our cameras out into the greater Hartford area. We decided that our first foray into the 'real world' would be to fast food restaurants and convenience stores. However, simply observing the normal occurrences or asking average questions would not have pushed the employees to the edge. And, as our aim is to push people to their limits we had to devise some truly mind bending questions of our own.

Posing as foreigners with little mastery of the English language, our accomplices committed well planned social faux pas. For example, they attempted to order a Big Mac at Burger King and a Whopper at McDonalds. Here are the questions that our bewildered Frenchmen asked.
