Element III A Class from Stanford University
Fill the blanks.

What would you do (     ) earn money if (「持ち物全てが」となるように3語で書きなさい) was five dollars and two hours? This is the assignment I gave students (     ) one (     ) my classes (     ) Stanford University. Each (     ) 14 teams received an envelope (     ) five dollars and was told they could spend (     ) much time (     ) they wanted planning. However, (     ) they opened the envelope, they had two hours (     ) generate (     ) much money (     ) possible. I gave them (     ) Wednesday afternoon (     ) Sunday evening (     ) complete the assignment. Then, (     ) Sunday evening, each team had to send me one slide (describeを適切な形にしなさい) what they had done, and (     ) Monday afternoon each team had three minutes (     ) present their project (     ) the class.

What would you do if you were given this challenge? When I ask most groups this question, someone usually shouts out, “Go (     ) Las Vegas,” or “Buy a lottery ticket.” This gets a big laugh. These folks would take a significant risk (「〜の見返りに」となるように3語で書きなさい) a small chance (     ) earning a big reward. The next most common suggestion is (     ) set up a car wash or lemonade stand, (useを適切な形にしなさい) the five dollars (     ) buy the starting materials. This is a fine option (     ) those interested (     ) earning a few extra dollars (     ) spending money (     ) two hours. However, most (     ) my students eventually found a way (     ) move (「はるかに上回る」となるように2語で書きなさい) the standard responses. They took seriously the challenge (     ) question traditional assumptions―(exposeを適切な形にしなさい) a wealth (     ) possibilities―in order to create (     ) much value (     ) possible.

How did they do this? Here’s a clue: the team that made the most money didn’t use the five dollars (「全く」となるように2語で書きなさい). They realized that focusing (     ) the money actually (frameを適切な形にしなさい) the problem much too tightly. They understood that five dollars is essentially nothing and decided (     ) reinterpret the problem more broadly: “What can we do (     ) make money if we start (     ) absolutely nothing?”

So what did they do? Most (     ) the teams were remarkably inventive. One group identified a problem common (     ) a lot of college towns―the frustratingly long lines at popular restaurants (     ) Saturday night. The team decided (     ) help those people who didn’t want to wait (     ) line. They paired (     ) and booked reservations (     ) several restaurants. (     ) the times (     ) their reservations approached, they sold each reservation for (「最高」となるように2語で書きなさい) 20 dollars to customers who were happy (     ) avoid a long wait.
