Reddit Takes the Bar Exam reboot: Q4 [From OA 136]

This is where, for fun, we replay old T3BE questions. T3BE was a popular segment of OA where at the end of each Thursday show, Andrew would look up a (multi-state) bar exam practice question and read it for Thomas. At the end of the following Monday show, they would reveal the answer and whether Thomas got it right.

In addition to the question at hand, I'd also like to ask folks: With Thomas' announcement about having T3BE return to the podcast, should we continue on playing old T3BE questions? Or should we sync up with the podcast and just make this a place to record our own answers? The latter is what the old version of Reddit Takes the Bar Exam did and it certainly would make it simpler to put these up each week. I'm going to end the answering period for this one early, on Wednesday, cause that would fit with either option.

I've removed the rule about top-level responses needing to be answers. Just make they're about discussion/meta-discussion of RTTBE in some form, and you're golden.

The answer to last week's question was discussed on OA 346 starting at roughly at 52:50 on the OA website's download link for me. The correct answer was C) Larceny but not Burglary.

Explanation: This is not Burglary because Burglary requires the intent to commit a crime when you are inside. The executive never had that intent, they just wanted to get their stuff back. This is Larceny, because the executive took property which was not theirs with the intent to convert them to their own use. They might not have had that intent to begin with, but they certainly did when they burned the documents instead of returning them.

(Torrez had a disagreement on the test answer's rationale of Larceny applying because of *continuing trespass *. Same answer, different reason for it, kind of thing).

Most of us got it wrong, as did Thomas! Scores to be edited in shortly.

Rules:

• You have until Wednesday the 14th to answer this question, the answer and next RT2BE will go up in early afternoon US Pacific time on that day

• This is on the honor system, the answer is available if you want it but that ruins the fun! Bonus points for answering without hearing what Thomas guesses.

• You may simply comment with what choice you've given, though more discussion is encouraged!

• Keep top-level responses for answers only, for tallying purposes. I will post an additional top level response for meta discussion. Off topic discussion may be removed.

• Use spoilers to cover your answer so others don't look at it before they write their own.

  • Type it exactly like this >!Answer E is Correct!<, and it will look like this: Answer E is Correct
  • Do not put a space between the exclamation mark and the text! In new reddit/the official app this will work, but it will not be in spoilers for those viewing in old reddit!

This question comes to us from OA136 . This was ahead of an interview on OA 137 with Yvette d'Entremont but I think timing wise the question was asked on 136. Yvette has recently become a receiver for OA LLC (court ordered 3rd managerial vote in the company). Thought it might be interesting to look back at her as a guest. This starts at roughly 54:35 on the downloadable version of OA136 on the openargs website.

" Guy was hiking in the High Sierra in April, when a severe late season blizzard set in. He became lost in the snow and wandered for several hours trying to follow whimpering creek downstream. Fortunately, he came across a small seemingly unoccupied cabin, which he entered for shelter by breaking the lock and then fell asleep.

Several hours later Basil, the owner of the cabin, roared up on his snowmobile and finding Guy in the Cabin demanded that Guy leave. When Guy refused, pointing out that the storm as at its peak, Basil dragged Guy out into the snow and then closed and locked the door.

Utterly by chance, Guy managed to find another cabin, but suffered severe frostbite leading to the loss of several toes.

If Guy sues Basil who will win?

A) Basil, because Guy refused to leave when asked.

B) Guy, because Basil did not behave as a reasonable person under the circumstances.

C) Guy, because the blizzard was a life threatening situation.

D) Basil, because Guy damaged his Cabin."
