Tom, an experienced car mechanic, looked very skeptical when one of his customers was telling his story. The man was saying that his car was allergic to vanilla ice cream. He said that every night his family had ice cream for desert after dinner. So, every night after dinner the man drove to the store to buy some ice cream. Every time when he bought vanilla ice cream, his car wouldn’t start. However, if he got any other kind of ice cream, the car started fine. Tom didn’t believe the story, but the man had been his good customer for years, and Tom agreed to go with him to the store. They bought vanilla ice cream there and, when they came back to the car, it wouldn’t start. Tom was amazed. He returned to the store for three more nights. The first night the man got chocolate ice-cream. The car started. The second night he got strawberry ice-cream. The car started. The third night he got vanilla ice-cream. The car failed to start. Tom decided to continue his visits to the store. He began to take notes: he wrote down all sorts of data, time of the day, type of gas used, etc. In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to find the flavor and get checked out. The question why the car wouldn't start when it took less time wasn’t difficult for an experienced mechanic. They called it “vapor lock”. It was happening every night, but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down enough to start. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot and vapor lock prevented it from starting. The man was driving an old cheap car. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated Tom examined the car in his service centre. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated The man had a problem starting his car. 1) True 2) False 3) Not stated
