Behavior Modification, Part II

For Part I of this story, see May 23, 2011.

The student entered the classroom, looking unsure of himself. As he moved forward, everyone in the class cheered. He looked puzzled, but pleased, but in the excitement of the moment stopped walking. The class went silent.

The student walked foward another few steps, and his classmates cheered again. He didn't have any idea what was happening, but he kept moving faster and faster toward the front of the classroom. At the blackboard, he took a step to the right, and the silence was deafening. "That must not be correct," he thought. He retraced his steps, with the hoopla beginning again. "This direction must be ok."

Eventually the cheering led him to a small indentation in the front wall of the classroom. The classroom erupted in applause even more than before. He had solved the game.

Time to solution: 2 minutes
