There was a Business Strategy project presentation going on today in tutorial class, regarding the merger of two automobile giants.

Q&As were already pre-planned (without the lecturer knowing, of course). The presentation by our three classmates went along well. They spoke confidently. Their slides were very well planned and designed.

The pre-planned Q&A went on as planned, with a little help from the students around who also gained participation marks for engaging the presenters. The questions were already written on pieces of handouts and secretly passed around.

Nothing could possibly go wrong with the Q&A. The last presenter, let’s call him Presenter X, decided to prove otherwise. He decided to go-the-extra-mile, but in the wrong direction.

Presenter X : Next question?

Classmate : Ah… yes, I would like to ask a question about XXXX.

Presenter X : Good question. Luckily, I have also prepared a slide on this.

His choice of words, coupled with his horrible sense of timing, with little acting, gave him away.

*Presenter scrolls down to the slide, which we have never seen*

The topic of the slide was EXACTLY the same, word-for-word, as the question asked. It was absolutely hilarious for the class to watch an already pre-planned Q&A session go totally wrong. Even the classmate who asked that question, as instructed, felt so embarrassed.

I could not resist and yelled out loud…

Wow! Fortune teller!

*another outburst from the class*
