That reminds me of the one I heard about a young boy and his mom at the zoo. In front of the elephant park, one of the bulls had an erection and the kid inquired of his mom "what is that?". Mom, flustered, stammered out "oh, oh, never mind, that is nothing". Later that evening the boy was washing hands, face and teeth and as dad got out of the shower the boy pointed at his crotch and asked the same question, "what is that?". The father answered "that is a man's penis, look, you have one too". The boy replied, we saw the elephants penis today and mom said it was nothing to which dad replied ..... "son, it seems I've spoiled the woman!".

Mom, in 1971:
And mom, in 2021:
Hers and dads home in the background in '71, with their beagle puppy. My home in '21, with a bottle of wine (priorities have shifted a bit!).

I think there's some slight of hand, the lower edge of the outline box may not be attached.

Yeah, physically impossible. You cannot add square inches, and have a sum total that doesn't change.
You can keep the shape (that part is, admittedly, pretty slick)...but not the size.
You can see it most clearly when they add #7, but it's the same process when they add #6 - they're sliding all the other pieces higher on #1, to make room on the low end for #7. Making the whole assembly taller.
The frame does leave the shot every time it is reinstalled, and I can't tell if its stop motion or not when it does.

limit -- four hours. Begin immediately.
History
Describe the history of the Papacy from its origins to the present day,
concentrate specifically but not exclusively, on the social, political,
economic, religious, and philosophical impact on Europe, Asia, America and
Africa. Be brief, concise and specific.
Literature
Compose an epic poem based on the events of your own life in which you see
and footnote allusions from T.S. Elliott, Keats, Chaucer, Dante, Norse
mythology and the Marx brothers. Critique your poem with a full discussion
of its metrics.
Music
Write a piano concerto. Orchestrate it and perform it with flute and drum.
You will find a piano under your seat.
Art
Explain Mona Lisa's smile.
Religion
Assuming the Judeo-Christian moral structure, take the stand for Adam and
Eve, and the eating of the forbidden fruit. Explain your position fully to
a Chassidic Rabbi, and answer his arguments. An Anglican bishop will
moderate this debate.
Logic
Using accepted methodology prove all four of the following: That the
universe is infinite; that truth is beauty; that there is not a little
person who turns off the light in the refrigerator when you close the door,
and that you are the person taking this exam. Now disprove all of the
above. Be specific; show all work.
Philosophy
Sketch the development of human thought; estimate its significance. Compare
with the development of any other kind of thought.
Epistemology
Take a position for or against truth. Prove the validity of your position.
Medicine
You have been provided with a razor blade, a piece of gauze, and a bottle of
Scotch. Remove your own appendix. Do not suture until your work has been
inspected. You have fifteen minutes.
Biology
Create life. Estimate the differences in subsequent human culture if this
form of life had developed five hundred years earlier, with special
attention to the probable effects on the English Parliamentary system.
Prove your thesis.
Psychology
Employing principles from the major schools of psychoanalytic thought,
successfully subject yourself to analysis. Make appropriate personality
changes, bill yourself and fill out all medical insurance forms. Now do the
same to the person seated to your immediate left. Also, based on your
degree of knowledge of their works, evaluate the emotional stability, degree
of adjustment, and repressed frustrations of each of the following Alexander
of Aphrodisias, Rameses II, Gregory of Nicea, Hammurabi. Support your
evaluations with quotations from each man's work, making appropriate
references. It is not necessary to translate.
Sociology

possible effects of you plan in the following areas Cubism, the Donatist
controversy, the wave theory of light. Outline a method from all points of
view. Point out deficiencies in your argument as demonstrated in your
answer to the last question.
Computer Science
Define computer. Define Science. How do they relate? Why? Create a
generalised algorithm to optimise all computer decisions. Assuming an 1130
CPU supporting 50 terminals, each terminal to activate your algorithm,
design the communications to interface and all the necessary control
programs.
Management Science
Define Management. Define Science. How do they relate? Why? Create a
generalised algorithm to optimise all managerial decisions. Assuming an
1130 CPU supporting 50 terminals, each terminal to activate your algorithm;
design the communications interface and all necessary control programs.
Public Speaking

use any ancient language except Latin or Greek.
Physics
Explain the nature of matter. Include in your answer an evaluation of the
impact of the development of mathematics on science.
Modern Physics
Disprove Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Construct an experiment to prove
your position.

whatever action you feel is appropriate. Be prepared to justify your
decision.
Agricultural Science
Outline the steps involved in breeding your own super high yield, all
weather hybrid strain of wheat. Describe its chemical and physical
properties and estimate its impact on world food supplies. Construct a
model for dealing with world-wide surpluses. Write your Nobel Prize
acceptance speech.
Comprehension
Three minute time test. Read everything before doing anything. Put your
name in the upper right hand corner of this page. Circle the word name in
sentence three. Sign your name under the title of this paper, after the
title write yes, yes, yes. Put an X in the lower left hand corner of this
paper. Draw a triangle around the X you just put down. On the back of this
paper multiply 703x668. Loudly call out your name when you get to this
point. If you think you have followed directions carefully to this point
call out "I have." Punch three small holes in the top of this paper. If
you are the first person to get this far, call out "I am the first person to
this point, I am leading in following directions." On the reverse side of
this paper add 8950 and 9850. Put a circle around your answer and put a
square around the circle. Now that you have finished reading carefully, do
only sentence two.
Political Science
There is a red telephone on the desk behind you. Start World War III.
Report at length on its socio-political effects, if any.
Jurisprudence
In Part 2 of Shakespeare's "Henry VI", Jack Cade, the leader of the Populist
revolt, proposes that the first order of business following a successful
coup d'e'tat could be to "kill all the lawyers". In light of the present
populist mood in the United States, assess the utility and any potential
impact of such a policy today.
Foreign Affairs
It has recently been suggested (especially after Black Monday) that only a
foreign war can restore America's lost national consensus. Propose the
ideal opponent(s) for the US in such a war, and how the conflict might be
engineered so that US would seem not to be the aggressor in the situation.
Discuss the pros and cons.

Give today's date, in metric.
Chemistry
Transform lead into gold. You will find a tripod and three logs under your
seat. Show all work including Feynman diagrams and quantum functions for
all steps. You have fifteen minutes.
General Knowledge
Describe in detail. Be objective and specific.
Extra Credit
Define the Universe. Give two examples.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal
and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"So what does that tell you?", asked Sherlock.
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there
are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I
deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small
and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a
beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson, you ********. Some bastard has stolen our tent."
