1). Suppose a local law, passed 70 years ago, prohibits ‘vehicles in the park’. This is clearly intended to exclude cars, truck and the like, but how would you decide whether it was intended to exclude the electrically powered vehicles now used by some disabled and elderly people( assuming the matter had not yet been decided anywhere)?.
2). Suppose you wanted to investigate what proportion of the UK population was living in poverty; how would you define poverty for your purpose?.
3). How would you resolve the following problem?.
According to evolutionary theory, a ‘successful’ individual must somehow ensure that the next generation contains creatures more like itself than like others of the species. Worker bumblebees are ‘successful’ in that each generation of bumblebees contains a significant proportion of workers, which exist to feed other members of their community. Worker bees thus pose a special problem for evolutionary theorists because the worker is the only sterile member of the bumblebee community.
