or the second choice simply ask, 'why?' The question was put to a college class and only one person passed. Most everyone wrote pages and pages of 'why'. The one person who passed only wrote two words...Why not?
There was a philosophy fial where a professor put a chair on the desk.The instructions were to explain why the chair was there. A student responded with "What chair?" He got an A.

Thank you. It's always good to hear the whole story!
The reason I suggest a non-magical solution for the quiz is to teach them about knowing when to use the big guns and what to do when they don't have access to them.

That sounds like a reasonable test, but not a reasonable graduation exam.

Well, it's a philosophy class not exactly a useful life skill.
So basically if you're a philosophy major you can ask "why would they like fries with that?" instead of "Would you like fries with that?"

It has chairness because you can sit on it and it has backsupport.
That's why it's a chair. That's why it exists there.
A nilist would argue nothing exists, including the chair.
Obviously the instructor was a nilist.
A magic school would have conjurists. They believe that all things are conjured. They also believe the ultimate evil is a ritual of abjuration that would destroy the multiverse.

Which leads us to something else you would find in the school...students and teachers debating over what is what and what is not. TA DA!
(I mean no offense by that, by the way. Just after seeing where the conversation was going and knowing where it began...I kind of saw a pattern.)
Thanks for helping me drag the discussion back on topic.
